| Abstract | Polymorphism for a Hpa I restriction endonuclease site associated with about 60% of beta S genes in American Blacks allows exact prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell anemia by amniocentesis in 36% of couples at risk. In three families in whom exact diagnosis by Hpa I sites was impossible, we found analysis for the presence of polymorphic HindIII sites in the G gamma and A gamma intervening sequences would allow an exact prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell status in all three. In one of these families, the presence of an A gamma HindIII site in amniocyte DNA confirmed the diagnosis (sickle cell trait) made by synthetic studies using fetal erythrocytes obtained at fetoscopy. Studies of other Black families and individuals provide evidence for linkage disequilibrium in the G gamma-A gamma-delta-beta gene complex involving the four sites, G gamma HindIII, A gamma HindIII, beta S, and Hpa I, which span 33 kilobases (kb). Ten of 14 chromosomes bearing a beta S gene in a 7.6-kb Hpa I fragment contained a G gamma but not an A gamma HindIII site, whereas 16 of 16 chromosomes bearing a beta S gene in a 13-kb Hpa I fragment lacked both the G gamma and A gamma HindIII sites. Two-thirds of beta A-bearing chromosomes lacked both G gamma and A gamma sites, whereas one-third contained either the G gamma or both G gamma and A gamma sites. These data demonstrate that combined analysis of both Hpa I and HindIII polymorphisms and verification of their linkage phase should increase the fraction of couples for whom amniocentesis can provide an exact diagnosis of sickle cell status from 36% to greater than 80%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
