Abstract excerpt
Duchenne-like muscular dystrophy (DLMD) is an autosomal recessive (AR) muscular dystrophy which presents a clinical course indistinguishable from the Xp21 Duchenne muscular dystrophy or DMD. Recently, Othmane et al., based on a linkage study with 13q12 markers in 3 highly inbred DLMD families from Tunisia, suggested that the gene for this myopathy lies in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 13q. It is...
