Abstract excerpt
Recent developments in molecular therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) demand accurate genetic diagnosis, because therapies are mutation specific. The KUCG (Kobe University Clinical Genetics) database for DMD and Becker muscular dystrophy is a hospital-based database comprising 442 cases. Using a combination of complementary DNA (cDNA) and chromosome analysis in addition to conventional genomic...
