Loss of a single amino acid from dystrophin resulting in Duchenne muscular dystrophy with retention of dystrophin protein.

Abstract excerpt

Almost all of the thousands of pathogenic mutations which have been described in the dystrophin gene either reduce protein production or remove large regions of the protein. This has severely limited the use of mutational information for the functional dissection of the dystrophin protein and increases the value of rare subtle mutations. We report a 3-bp deletion which removes a single highly conserved residue...
