Figure 2 Preclinical study and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for hypokalaemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP): pedigree showing data from the relatives involved in the informativity study and embryos from the PGD cycle. Marker alleles are reported in the order from centromere to telomere (D1S2622–CACNL1A3–D1S1723) Unbroken vertical lines represent the normal alleles for CACNA1S. Dotted vertical lines represent the R528H-bearing haplotype for HOKPP. Reproductive BioMedicine Online 2010 21, 206-211DOI: (10.1016/j.rbmo.2010.04.019) Copyright © 2010 Reproductive Healthcare Ltd.
