A Novel Mutation (Lys31Arg) in the DMD Gene Impacts on Neuromuscular Dysfunctions Found by Whole Exome Sequencing and In Silico Analyses in an Iranian Family.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Duchene Muscular Disorder (DMD) is a severe X-linked recessive neuromuscular disease. Previous reports predicted that one-third of cases with a fatal X-linked recessive disease will be caused by a novel mutation, and the mutation rate for DMD seems to be higher in males. OBJECTIVE: A novel mutation in the DMD gene DMD (NM_004006.3):c.92A>G (p.Lys31Arg) is suggested for males because of their...
