Implications of a common polymorphism in intron 12 of the dystrophin gene for deletion detection by multiplex PCR.

Abstract excerpt

The multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a reliable and efficient method for detecting dystrophin gene deletions in about 65% of patients with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD or BMD). The 9-plex PCR assay, which simultaneously amplifies the muscle-specific promoter and exons 3, 6, 13, 43, 47, 50, 52 and 60, is one of the multiplex PCR assays used routinely to test for DMD and BMD deletions. In...
