This paper describes a case of prenatal diagnosis for Wilson disease (WD) carried out in an at-risk couple of Sardinian descent, following non-directive genetic counselling. Diagnosis was obtained by using eight microsatellites located within or flanking the WD locus, six of which were 100 per cent and two 50 per cent informative. The use of several markers may limit the occurrence of misdiagnosis resulting from recombination or instability of repeats.

D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.
