In a 9-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy we found a large in-frame deletion, spanning exons 10 to 53 of the dystrophin gene. The deletion removed almost all of the central rod domain of dystrophin. Using carboxyterminal dystrophin antibodies the immunohistochemical reaction was normal in all muscle fibers. In immunoblot studies we found dystrophin of abnormal size (160 kDa) and normal amount (about...
