Fukuyama type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a combination of primary muscular dystrophy of early infantile onset and brain malformation (lissencephaly type 11). The identification of the FCMD gene locus at 9q31 opened the theoretical possibi

We conducted prenatal diagnosis by haplotype analysis, using newly developed microsatellite markers, in eight Fukuyama type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) families. In addition to six new families, two previously reported families were reexamined by haplotype analysis including detection of an
## Introduction: Duchenne/becker muscular dystrophies (dmd/bmd) are x-linked recessive diseases caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. ## Methods: We used multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and short tandem repeat (str) segregation analysis for dmd/bmd-carrier detection and prenatal d
Type Ia glycogen storage disease (GSD), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder, is caused by a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). We had previously identified the nature of the causative mutations in a Chinese family whose first two children were affected with type Ia GSD. Two differen
