Abstract excerpt
We attempted to identify a mutation in dystrophin gene in a female patient who was suspected a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) carrier with muscle weakness of upper limbs and congestive heart failure. We examined the mutation hot spots in DMD gene, exon 3, 6, 8, 13, 17, 19, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52, 60 by multiplex PCR which had been a diagnostic screening strategy, and detected an extra band in exon 43...
