Analysis procedure predicts outcomes for pregnancies with myotonic dystrophy using genetic linkage.

The aim is to explore a prenatal diagnosis method for myotonic dystrophy using genetic linkages.
Utilized indirect diagnosis through prenatal phenotype and marker loci linked to the disease locus.
Examined chromosomal sex of embryos to assess haemophilia prognosis.
Identified the linkage between myotonic dystrophy locus and ABH secretor locus for risk assessment.
The analysis allows for a 50% or 0% prognosis for haemophilia based on embryonic sex.
Effective in predicting pregnancy outcomes in families with myotonic dystrophy under specific circumstances.

Renwick et al. (1971) studied this question.
