A new restriction fragment length polymorphism at the DXS101 locus allows carrier detection in a family with X linked agammaglobulinaemia.
The gene responsible for X linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) lies in Xq22 and has recently been identified as atk. DXS101 is a polymorphic locus which is closely linked to the disease locus. In this report we describe the identification, by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, of a new polymorphism at the DXS101 locus with a predicted heterozygosity of 4.9%. Despite this low value, we show how this...
متن کاملRestriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP)
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a technique in which organisms may be differentiated by analysis of patterns derived from cleavage of their DNA. If two organisms differ in the distance between sites of cleavage of a particular restriction endonuclease, the length of the fragments produced will differ when the DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme. The similarity of the pa...
متن کاملApplications of restriction fragment length polymorphism.
The availability of a variety of restriction endonuclease enzymes that cleave deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at specific sites has made it possible to identify the presence of polymorphic regions in the isolated fragments. Such restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) results owing to a variation in the number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of a short DNA segment. These VNTR sequences can uniquel...
متن کاملUse of restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis for detecting carriers of "fragile X" syndrome.
Recombinant DNA technology promises to play an increasingly important role in the future of medicine. Application of this technology to the study of human disease will help us to define and clarify the molecular pathology of many clinical disorders, provide new diagnostic tools and approaches, and, finally, will provide new therapeutic agents including gene-replacement therapy. We have begun to...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of the human X chromosome by using restriction fragment length polymorphisms.
Using a human X chromosome-specific DNA library, we have found arbitrary single-copy DNA sequences that reveal useful restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The inheritance of these and other available polymorphic DNA markers has been studied in a series of unrelated three-generation families with large sibships. These families reveal parental phase and allow determination of recombination ...
