Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in the DMD gene. The aim of this study was to predict the effect of gene mutations on the dystrophin protein and study its impact on clinical phenotype. METHODS: In this study, 415 clinically diagnosed patients were tested for mutations by Multiplex ligation dependent probe...
