MJD is the most frequent dominant ataxia and an incapacitating disorder. Onset is most frequently during the reproductive years, and genetic counselling is its only means of prevention. The causative mutation-an expansion of a (CAG) n on chromosome 14q32.1-can now be directly detected. We now report
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
