Abstract excerpt
Dinucleotide repeat polymorphism based genetic analysis is a powerful approach to gain insight into rare genetic events like germline mosaicism and de novo mutations. The loss of heterozygosity of polymorphic dinucleotide loci at "deletional hotspot" of dystrophin gene can provide direct evidence of carrier status in female relatives of affected DMD patients with overlapped exonic deletions. We have used 4 STR...
