We developed a method that allows prenatal diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy using a single nucleated erythrocyte (NRBC) isolated from maternal blood. Maternal blood was obtained at 8 to 20 weeks of gestation. NRBCs were separated with Percoll using a discontinuous density gradient method and then collected by micromanipulator under microscopic observation. The entire genome of a single cell was amplified by primer extension preamplification (PEP). Sex was determined from a small aliquot of the PEP reaction. After an NRBC was determined to be male and confirmed to be of fetal origin, dystrophin exons 4, 8, 12, 45, 48, 50, and 51 were determined from the same PEP reaction. This diagnostic method using maternal blood is safer than amniocentesis or cordocentesis and can be applied to other X-linked diseases.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
