Muscle Diseases Clinic, Prince of Wales Children's Hospital, Randwick, Australia.

Results of the use of recombinant DNA techniques for the diagnosis of both forms of X-linked muscular dystrophy, Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD), over an 18 month period, are reviewed. In all, 97 families with DMD were investigated and four with BMD. In 90 families the propositi were examined for deletions, in 21 families the maximum number of meioses was examined (in order to generate recombination fraction data) and in 45 families the study was undertaken to provide carrier and prenatal diagnosis.

D009517 New South Wales A state in southeastern Australia. Its capital is Sydney. It was discovered by Captain Cook in 1770 and first settled at Botany Bay by marines and convicts in 1788. It was named by Captain Cook who thought its coastline resembled that of South Wales. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p840 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p377)

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

D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.
