Abstract excerpt
Dystrophinopathies are X-linked recessive diseases caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Our objective was to identify mutations in this gene by Multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification (MLPA), to confirm the clinical diagnosis and determine the carrier status of at-risk relatives. Also, we aimed to characterize the Dystrophinopathies argentine population and the DMD gene. We analyzed a cohort of 121 individuals (70...
