Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations are associated with premature coronary heart disease and early myocardial infarction. In the general human population the sizes of apolipoprotein [apo(a)] isoforms are inversely associated with lipoprotein(a) levels. Large isoforms are associated with low Lp (a) and small isoforms with high Lp(a) in the plasma. The size of the polymophism is directly correlated with the number of kringle-4 domains in apo(a). It has been shown by quantitative Southern blotting, and more recently by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, that polymophism is the result of differences in the number of tandem kringle-4 repeats in the apo(a) gene.

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Fragile-X syndrome is a hereditary dynamic mutation disorder, predominantly caused by a large expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeats in the FMR 1 gene leading to methylation and down regulation of transcription of the gene. For the molecular diagnosis of the disease, the repeat locus in FMR 1 gene is primarily detected by Southern blotting with radioactively labeled probes. Unusually GC rich composition of the expanded region caused technical difficulties during PCR based testing and therefore is not performed by most diagnostic laboratories. We established a Southern blot method and a novel PCR protocol which enables the amplification of normal, premutated …
