Title: [Gene diagnosis of X linked retinitis pigmentosa by linkage analysis]. Author: Liu M, Wei Y, Liu L. Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1999 Jan; 79(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 11601008. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To establish a gene diagnosis method for X linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). METHODS: Ten microsatellite markers were selected from the region where the RP2 and RP3 gene may be located at Xp21.1-p11.23. Haplotype analysis for XLRP pedigrees was used to determine the chromosome region which is RP related and whether this region was carried by the individuals we want to detect. RESULTS: The young female who is the RP carrier or the young boy who is the pre-symptom RP patient could be determined this way in 4 XLRP family. CONCLUSION: Haplotype analysis for XLRP Pedigrees is useful.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
