Three families segregating for X-linked ichthyosis (XLI) were analysed using the full-length STS cDNA probe and an anonymous polymorphic DNA sequence closely linked to the STS gene. In patients from two of the families, submicroscopic chromosomal deletions could be detected using both the STS and the GMGX9 (DXS237 locus) probes. Patients in the third family showed the same hybridization pattern as healthy males following molecular hybridization with either of the probes. The results of DNA analysis (indirect genotype diagnosis) agree well with those based on the arysulfatase C/beta-gal determination and prove the reliability of the biochemical test. Both methods are discussed for carrier detection, prenatal diagnosis, and genetic counseling.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007057 Ichthyosis Any of several generalized skin disorders characterized by dryness, roughness, and scaliness, due to hypertrophy of the stratum corneum epidermis. Most are genetic, but some are acquired, developing in association with other systemic disease or genetic syndrome. Xeroderma,Ichthyoses,Xerodermas
D008297 Male Males

D005817 Genetic Counseling An educational process that provides information and advice to individuals or families about a genetic condition that may affect them. The purpose is to help individuals make informed decisions about marriage, reproduction, and other health management issues based on information about the genetic disease, the available diagnostic tests, and management programs. Psychosocial support is usually offered. Counseling, Genetic,Genetic Counseling, Prenatal,Prenatal Genetic Counseling
