Prenatal diagnosis of Hurler disease by analysis of alpha-iduronidase in chorionic villi.

abstract：:Defects in a pathway as complex as the electron transport chain cause a variety of clinical abnormalities, which vary from fatal lactic acidosis in infancy to mild muscle disease in adults. The primary defect may reside in the nucleus or the mitochondrial genome. Until relatively recently, biochemical assays were the ...
