Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In some cases, a definitive confirmation of dysferlinopathy cannot be achieved by DNA test, because the mutation is detected in one allele only. PATIENTS AND METHODS: DYSFERLIN expression in skeletal muscle and peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) was studied by Western blot in two unrelated adult patients. The comparative C(T) method (ΔΔC(T) ) was used to calculate relative changes in dysferlin mRNA...
