POLYMORPHOUS MICROSATELLITE LOCI IN GENES FOR PRE-DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES

摘要

Typing (M1) a gene (I) that has one or more polymorphic microsatellite loci (PML) comprises: (a) PCR amplification of at least one DNA region of (I) that includes PML, using as template a DNA sample containing at least one segment of (I); and (b) determining the length of the resulting amplicon(s). Independent claims are also included for: (1) determining (M2) microsatellite markers (MM) for predisposition to a disease, associated with a gene that includes one or more PML; and (2) prediagnosis (M3) of diseases associated with gene that include PML.
