DNA-based X-enriched sperm separation as an adjunct to preimplantation genetic testing for the prevention of X-linked disease.
G. Levinson,K Keyvanfar,Joy C. Wu,E.F. Fugger,E.F. Fugger,Rita A. Fields,Gary Harton,Frances T. Palmer,Michael E. Sisson,Karin M. Starr,Lisa Dennison-Lagos,Lucrecia Calvo,Richard J. Sherins,David Bick,Joseph D. Schulman,Susan H. Black,Susan H. Black +16 more
TL;DR: The world's first clinical pregnancy resulting from DNA-based enrichment for X-bearing human spermatozoa, for prevention of X-linked hydrocephalus is reported, and this technique should be widely applicable to gender selection for the prevention of genetic disorders.

Journal ArticleDOI
Reliable gender screening for human preimplantation embryos, using multiple DNA target-sequences
G. Levinson,Rita A. Fields,Gary Harton,Frances T. Palmer,Anne Maddalena,Edward F. Fugger,Joseph D. Schulman +6 more
TL;DR: Dependable methods were developed for preimplantation sexing of human IVF embryos, for use in clinical settings where prospective parents are at high risk for transmission of X-linked diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing and preventing inherited disease: Nucleated erythrocytes in maternal blood: quantity and quality of fetal cells in enriched populations
Julian Reading,John L. Huffman,Joy C. Wu,Frances T. Palmer,Gary Harton,Michael E. Sisson,K Keyvanfar,Thomas H. Gresinger,William J. Cochrane,Lee A. Fallon,Gianna F. Menapace-Drew,Emilie A. Cummings,Shirley L. Jones,Susan H. Black,Susan H. Black,Joseph D. Schulman,Joseph D. Schulman,Gene Levinson,Gene Levinson +18 more
TL;DR: It was determined that less than one nucleated erythrocyte per ml of maternal blood was of fetal origin, suggesting that the fetal cells are less suitable for fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) analysis than similar preparations from other sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved sizing of fragile X CCG repeats by nested polymerase chain reaction
Gene Levinson,Gene Levinson,Anne Maddalena,Anne Maddalena,Frances T. Palmer,Gary Harton,David P. Bick,David P. Bick,Patricia N. Howard-Peebles,Patricia N. Howard-Peebles,Susan H. Black,Susan H. Black,Joseph D. Schulman,Joseph D. Schulman +13 more
TL;DR: An improved method for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based sizing of the CCG repeat region at the fragile X locus, FMR-1 is developed, designed to optimize denaturation and replication of long repeats with high G + C content, which are otherwise refractory to amplification.
