Abstract excerpt
The molecular background of an intermediate type of dystrophinopathy [Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD)] remains to be clarified, and out-of -frame and in-frame mutations of the dystrophin gene are shown to be causes of DMD and BMD, respectively. In a boy with this disease, dystrophin mRNA extracted from lymphocytes and muscle were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively using reverse...
