Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD) are X-linked myopathies caused by mutations of the dystrophin gene. METHODS: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) combined with next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the exons of the dystrophin gene were performed in 92 suspected DMD/BMD patients. Patients with negative results were subjected to additional muscle diseases panel...
