Pericentric inversion of chromosome 19: prenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling.

abstract：:A method is described which uses the Hind III polymorphism in intron 19 of the factor VIII gene for genomic family analysis and prenatal diagnosis by the polymerase chain reaction. The primers derived from the exon 19 and 20 sequences allow amplification of the whole intron 19 resulting in a 730 bp fragment. Hind III ...
