Abstract excerpt
In our investigation of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)-Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) gene in the Chinese, the analysis of relevant restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) was first made in 30 normal female volunteers to determine their allele and genotype frequencies, and then in 29 DMD-BMD families for informativeness of different combinations of RFLPs in making carrier detection and prenatal...
