Abstract
Six genetic polymorphisms, closely linked to the cystic fibrosis gene and useful in clinical linkage analysis, have been characterized and converted to a more rapid form of assay. Sequences flanking the metD (Ban I), metH (Msp I), XV-2c (Taq I), KM.19 (Pst I), MP6d-9 (Msp I), and J3.11 (Msp I) polymorphic restriction sites have been determined and used to design specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification primers and allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. All six of these polymorphisms were found to involve single-base alterations, and the XV-2c polymorphism was found to lie within an Alu repeat segment. These PCR-based tests, in conjunction with the CS.7 (Hha I) assay described elsewhere (Stanier P et al. Hum Genet 1988;80:309-10; Williams C et al. Lancet 1988;ii:102-3), provide a convenient, rapid, and reliable method of haplotype and linkage analysis, clinically useful in those situations where direct detection of mutations is not possible.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
