Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection are usually performed using diallelic RFLP-markers which are not always informative. Now 30 of microsatellite marker have reported, these microsatellite polymorphism can easily be amplified using PCR technique. If mutations are known to localize in this...
