Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Duchenne (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked recessive disorders, caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Genetic diagnosis of the proband becomes crucial, and forms the base for carrier analysis, genetic counselling, prediction of natural history and prognosis, and eligibility for therapeutic strategies. Traditional multiplex PCR assay is the common method used in...
