RE: Pre Natal Genetic Testing

[Guest guest]

Hi Patti

This article is considered the most comprehensive regarding

genetic issues.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=gene & part=bpes

There is a section on Prenatal Testing about half way down the

web site.

I hope you find this useful.

Has anyone done any research on invitro DNA

testing for BPEI? I

understand that there is a 50/50 chance that a pregnancy will result

in a BPEI baby from a BPEI parent...If the disorder (as Kent Small's

research found) is due to the " absence " or " deletion " of

the gene that

is responsible then it would follow that there could be an early DNA

screening. Any thoughts or referrals on this?? thanks all! patti
