Abstract excerpt
Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is an X-linked lethal recessive disease caused by mutation in the DMD gene. There is no efficient treatment for this serious and disabling disease. We established a combination method to detect carriers and performed prenatal diagnosis. Using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and linkage analysis of short tandem repeats (STR) methods, 26 prenatal...
