✦ Synopsis

The type IA of the isolated deficiencies (ID) of growth (HGH) and placental lactogen (HPL) hormones are frequently the consequence of deletions in their respective genes. To facilitate the diagnosis of these cases, we developed a rapid method for detecting deletions of the genes involved based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. This method consist of the simultaneous amplification via consensus primers of the 5 genes which conform the hGH-hPL multigene family, followed by the identification of each of them in the amplification product by gene-specific patterns of restriction enzyme cuts evidenced by agarose gel electrophoresis. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by identifying patients with deletions in gene members of the hGH-hPL family. Am.

## Williams -Beuren syndrome (WBS) results from a deletion of 7q11.23 in 90-95% of all clinically typical cases. Clinical manifestation can be variable and therefore, deletion size, inherited elastin (ELN) and LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1) alleles, gender, and parental origin of deletion have been investiga
