Tightly linked polymorphic markers for fragile X syndrome and prenatal cytogenetic diagnostic experience.
1992
Linkage analysis using the polymorphic loci DXS369, DXS296, DXS297 and DXS306 was carried out on a cohort of 17 families segregating for fragile X syndrome. The observed recombination fractions at: DXS369 (Zmax = 3. 02; theta=0. 06), DXS297 (Zmax= 2. 92; theta = 0.0), DXS296 (Zmax = 3. 82; theta = 0.0), DXA306 (Zmax = 4. 55; theta = 0.05) confirm that these loci are tightly linked to FRAXA. Our experience in the cytogenetic analysis of 58 at risk pregnancies by chorionic villus or fetal blood sample examination documents a false negative rate in obligate carrier male pregnancies for CVS of 11% and for FBS of 3%.
