| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase gene of hereditary methemoglobinemia type I,Type II and type III, and applied these results to prenatal diagnosis of this disorder.
An alternative and noninvasive method for obtaining fetal cells from maternal circulation was studied. It was evident that nucleated erythrocytes were most disirable for this purpose. We studied also the methods for collecting nucleated erythrocytes, for extraction of DNA and for PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification of DNA by using cord bloods. Sedimentation method under different of gravity nucleated erythrocytes and selecting of single cell by micromanipulator were found to be most reliable for analysing DNA of the nucleated erythrocytes. PCR technique allowed the primers to anneal to their respective binding sites of Exon 2 and 5 of b5R gene and showed a positive PCR signal for 1.6 pg of DNA.
