摘要: In the course of a 2-year predictive testing programme for Huntington's disease (HD), six couples from total 52 applicants requested prenatal testing. each case, pregnancy was in first or second trimester when were referred DNA diagnosis. five cases, exclusion offered; one person at risk with an increased being gene carrier all informative markers could be determined. Whenever possible, newer technique polymerase chain reaction (PCR) D4S125 applied to perform rapid Two withdrew before chorionic villus sampling undertaken; diagnosis completed remaining four cases. After testing, two pregnancies determined have and fetuses low HD carriers.
