Cloning of multiple keratin 16 genes facilitates prenatal diagnosis of pachyonychia congenita type 1.

abstract：:Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves the screening of biopsied cells from in vitro fertilization (IVF) generated embryos. This procedure allows the selective transfer of unaffected embryos and thus may be preferable to prenatal diagnosis for couples at high risk of transmitting genetic defects to their off...
