Title: Use of genetic markers to diagnose familial dysautonomia
Inventor: SLAUGENHAUPT SUSAN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: Familial Dysautonomia (FD), is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by developmental arrest in the sensory and autonomic nervous systems and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The familial dysautonomia disease gene (DYS) has previously been mapped to an 11cM segment of chromosome 9q31-33 flanked by D9s53 and D9S105. Using new polymorphic loci, the location of the gene is narrowed to less than 0.5 cM between the markers 43B1GAGT and 157A3. Two markers in this interval, 164D1 and D9S1677, show no recombination with the disease. Haplotype analysis confirmed this candidate region. The identification of these close flanking markers of the familial dysautonomia disease gene allows accurate genetic testing for both familial dysautonomia families and carriers.

Abstract: A casino game between a dealer and a player uses a deck of cards consisting essentially of the forty cards Ace through ten for each of four suits. The cards each have a value equal to the face value of the card except Aces which may be valued at one or zero. The player makes a base wager and the dealer deals one card to the player and one card to the dealer. The player forms a final hand by standing or receiving additional cards. If the player receives a card that causes the player's hand sum to exceed ten, the player automatically loses and his base wager is collected. Alternatively, if the player forms a final hand consisting essentially of only two Aces, the player automatically wins and the player is rewarded unless, in an optional embodiment, the dealer also receives a hand of two Aces. A player may optionally increase his or her base wager if the initial card dealt is an Ace. The dealer forms a final hand by drawing additional cards or standing, optionally according to house rules. Base wager, are resolved by summing the values of the cards in the dealer's final hand and declaring the final hand having a sum closer to ten, without exceeding ten, to be the winning hand. Players having winning hands are rewarded and wagers are collected from players having losing hands. In the event of a push, the player's base wager is returned.
