pubmed:abstractText |
A polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) in intron 3 (Goltsov et al., 1993) and a variable number of tandem repeats (Hind III-VNTR) flanked by two constant Hind III sites (Golstov et al., 1992) have been recently identified in the human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. These polymorphisms are easily detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis. We report on the use of these two novel polymorphisms in three Italian families with pregnancies at risk for classical phenylketonuria (PKU). A carrier status for PKU was ascertained in two fetuses; the third family refused prenatal diagnosis, although informativeness was shown to be complete.
