Abstract excerpt
About one third of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients have no gross DNA rearrangements in the dystrophin gene detectable by Southern blot analysis or multiplex exon amplification. Presumably, in these cases, the deficiency is caused by minor structural lesions of the dystrophin gene. However, to date, only a single human DMD case has been described where a point mutation, producing a stop codon, accounts...
