Objective: To assess the relationship between sperm morphology and motion parameters and sperm-zona pellucida (ZP) binding capacity under hemizona assay (HZA) conditions and to determine the discriminatory power of the HZA ...

DNA haplotypes of the complement C6 and C7 genes associated with deficiencies of the seventh component; And a new DNA polymorphism in C7 exon 13

Fernie B.A.; Orren A.; Schlesinger M.; Wurzner R.; Platonov A.E.; Cooper R.C.; Williams Y.E.; Hobart M.J. (1997)

Eight common DNA polymorphisms have been described for the linked C6 and C7 genes. We now describe a ninth polymorphism in C7 exon 13 which is located in a tight cluster with two previously reported markers. We have used ...
