Abstract excerpt
We studied 38 unrelated patients from southern France with Duchenne (DMD) or Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophy for intragenic deletions of the DMD/BMD gene. We used both multiplex amplification of selected exons and cDNA probes. Of the 26 (68%) unrelated individuals found to have deletions, 24 (92%) were detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. All these deletions have been delineated with regard to the...
