Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of heritable blistering diseases characterized by tissue separation within the cutaneous basement membrane zone, is inherited either in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive fashion. EB has been divided into four broad categories based on the precise level

The diagnostic hallmark of the dystrophic forms of epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), a group of heritable blistering skin diseases, is abnormalities in the anchoring fibrils at the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone. Since type VII collagen is the major, if not the exclusive, component of the anchor
We have performed prenatal diagnosis for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) in two unrelated families by direct gene analysis. Using a combined non-radioactive analysis of single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex formation (HD), followed by automated sequencing, we studied DNA f
Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism that results from the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme β£-galactosidase A (β£-Gal A). A rapid, reliable, and universal linkage method was developed for molecular carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis. By d
