Summary
First-trimester prenatal diagnosis was undertaken by chorionic villus DNA analysis in a Spanish family with the inherited Glu104Asp triose-phosphate isomerase deficiency. The fetus was heterozygous for the mutation and therefore predicted to be clinically unaffected. To investigate the evolutionary origin of this mutation, studies were conducted on the intragenic 2262A/G polymorphism and the CD4 pentameric tandem repeat marker. A different haplotype was found to the one previously described, suggesting a different origin of the Spanish mutation.
