Abstract excerpt

Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) are X-linked inherited muscular disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Two-thirds of DMD cases are thought to be caused by inheritance from carrier mothers and this study aimed to clarify and compare the carrier frequency of mothers of DMD and BMD patients according to the mutation type. We included 139 DMD and 19 BMD mothers. Of these, 113...
