Prenatal diagnosis for non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH) was performed by enzymatic analysis of chorionic villus samples in 28 families and by DNA analysis in two families. In 26 families, enzymatic analysis of the glycine cleavage multi-enzyme system (GCS) yielded an unambiguous diagnosis; inconcl

We have investigated the use of a 4-methylumbelliferone (MU)-derived artificial substrate, MU-a-D-Nsulphoglucosaminide, for the sulphamidase assay in chorionic villi and amniotic fluid cells. In the new two-step enzyme assay, fluorescent MU is released by the successive action of endogenous sulphami
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) offers couples at risk for transmitting an inherited disorder the possibility to avoid the need to terminate affected pregnancies, since it allows the selection of unaffected IVF embryos for transfer. PGD for monogenic diseases is most commonly accomplished by
