Abstract excerpt
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD) are allelic X-linked disorders arising from mutations in the (2.4 Mb) dystrophin gene at Xp21. We have applied the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to identify a larger than normal dystrophin mRNA from a male with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and his younger affected brother. The increased size of the dystrophin mRNA was due to a...
