Abstract excerpt
Dystrophinopathies are the most common genetic neuromuscular disorders during childhood, with an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. Because of clinical and genetic heterogeneity of dystrophinopathies, genetic testing of dystrophin gene at Xp21.2 is constantly evolving. Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (MPCR) is used in the first line to detect common exon deletions of dystrophin gene (accounting for 65%...
