DIAGNOSIS OF GENETIC DISORDERS
The use of new diagnostic techniques has allowed individuals to discover whether
they or their
offspring are at risk
of suffering from specific inherited
diseases. DNA analysis using PCR has been used for the identification
of carriers of hereditary disorders, for prenatal diagnosis of deleterious genetic
conditions and for the early
diagnosis of these
disorders before the manifestations of any
symptoms. Table 25.7 shows
some examples of genetic
human disorders that are currently identified by PCR.
