[Molecular genetics and problems found in genetic diagnosis of Duchenne Becker muscular dystrophy].

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD, respectively) are the most common inherited muscular diseases and caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Half to two-thirds of DMD and BMD patients carry deletions (usually of several kilobases of genomic DNA). The clinical progression in DMD and BMD patients with deletions can be predicted in 92% of cases based on whether the deletion maintains or...
