DNA probes in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. 1983

Informative members of more than twenty families with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa have been sampled by venipuncture and DNA extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes and lymphoblastoid cell lines. X chromosome-specific recombinant DNA probes have been isolated from an X chromosomal genomic DNA library obtained by flow-sorting human chromosomes. These, and similar probes obtained from other laboratories, are being used to identify restriction fragment length polymorphisms in retinitis pigmentosa obligate heterozygotes. By analysis of linkage relationships in the offspring of double heterozygotes, it may be possible to localize the gene(s) responsible for this disorder to a particular subregion of the X-chromosome. Such probes are potentially useful for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004274 DNA, Recombinant Biologically active DNA which has been formed by the in vitro joining of segments of DNA from different sources. It includes the recombination joint or edge of a heteroduplex region where two recombining DNA molecules are connected.

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
