Abstract excerpt
On dystrophin gene analysis by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 76 of 130 (58.5%) Japanese patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy had a deletion or duplication in genomic DNA. Of the remaining 54 patients who had no identifiable gene mutations, muscle biopsy tissue was available in 16 for RNA extraction. The full length of the coding regions of dystrophin cDNA was amplified in 10 fragments by reverse...
