Becker muscular dystrophy: correlation of deletion type with clinical severity.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular deletion screening with cDNA probes from the dystrophin gene was undertaken in patients with Becker muscular dystrophy from 58 separate families. Deletions were found in 41 (71%) of these families. Thirty-four (83%) of the deletions started in the same intron near the centre of the gene, and although there was no precise correlation between clinical severity and deletion pattern, the commonest deletion...
