Abstract
Carrier determination and prenatal diagnosis in Norrie disease (ND) has so far not been reported. We describe a kindred with 4 members affected by ND in which a deletion comprising gene locus DXS7 on the short arm of the X chromosome defined by probe L1.28 causes the disorder. This allowed us to predict via chorion villus biopsy that a male foetus of a carrier woman is unaffected.Keywords
