Many Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients are known to have rare staining dystrophin-positive fibers, termed "revertants." The precise etiology of these rare fibers is unknown. The most likely explanation, however, is somatic mosaicism or somatic reversion/suppression. Immunocytochemistry was performed on serial sections from deleted and nondeleted patients, with a panel of antibodies--9219, 1377, 9218, and...
