Hybrid minigene splicing assay verified the pathogenicity of a novel splice site variant in the dystrophin gene of a Chinese patient with typical Duchenne muscular dystrophy phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is typically caused by disrupting the reading frame of the dystrophin gene: approximately 70%-80% of mutational events are represented by deletions or duplications of one or more exons in the dystrophin gene, and the remaining cases by subtle mutations, including point mutations, small indels, small inversions, and complex small rearrangements. The dystrophin gene is...
