Dystrophin deletions and cognitive impairment in Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Analyses of deletions in the dystrophin gene and of cognitive status were performed on patients with Duchenne (DMD) or Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophy in order to find a correlation between both features. Molecular study by multiplex and simplex PCR of dystrophin exons led to the identification of 51 deletions in 126 unrelated patients. Most of them were frameshift, in full agreement with severe clinical...
