Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle-wasting disorder affecting 1 in
3500 males. A less severe and less common form is Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Only …

A muscle biopsy from an X‐linked muscular dystrophy pedigree showed normal dystrophin
and dystrophinassociated proteins. Linkage to multiple markers within the dystrophin gene …

In a previous study we identified 14 cases with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or its
milder variant, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), with a deletion of exons 3-7, a deletion …

The mdx mouse, an animal model used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has a
nonsense mutation in exon 23 of the dystrophin gene which should result in a truncated …

The severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and the more benign Becker type (BMD)
are allelic conditions, controlled by a defective gene at Xp21, caused by the absence (DMD) …

By cloning the endpoints of a DMD-associated deletion, we have “jumpe” 1100 kb from
pERT87-1 (DSX164) to a new locus designated J66 (DXS268), mapping distally within the …

Dystrophin, the protein encoded by the Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene has been
shown to be expressed in central nervous system. In the present study, polyclonal …

Dystrophin transcripts were shown to be alternatively spliced in a pattern characteristic of
both tissue type and developmental stage. Multiple novel spliced forms of dystrophin mRNA …

In the course of a mutation search performed by muscle dystrophin transcript analysis in 72
Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies (DMD/BMD) patients without gross gene …

We report the first C-terminal missense mutation in a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient.
A G10227A transition of the dystrophin gene was found which resulted in the substitution of …
