The amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) has been applied to prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of cystic fibrosis. The nucleotide sequence of both alleles of the PstI restriction fragment length polymorphism at the KM19 locus, which displays linkage disequilibrium with cystic fibrosis, has been determined. ARMS enables direct analysis of alleles of this polymorphism in DNA isolated from chorionic villus biopsy or white blood cells.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
