Since the isolation of a recombinant containing a cDNA sequence for human phenylalanine hydroxylase (hPH) (Woo et al. , 1983; Speer et al. , 1986) prenatal diagnosis by linked restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLPs) has become possible for families in which phenylketonuria (PKU) occurs (Lidsky et al. , 1985a). We describe here the application of a Hind III three‐allele RFLP in a single family, which allowed the prenatal diagnosis of an affected fetus.
