Abstract excerpt
We report the characterization of two deep intronic mutations in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene of two unrelated Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients, causing the aberrant inclusion of a pseudoexon in the mature transcripts. These two mutations were identified by the use of RT-PCR on transcripts isolated from muscle. The first abnormally large transcript resulting from a 58-bp insertion between...
