Molecular Diagnosis of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy in a family with no pathological antecedents of the disease
<p><strong>Foundation</strong>: Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are progressive neuromuscular diseases with a pattern of recessive inherited link to chromosome X and caused by mutations in the gene which codifies for dystrophin. The study of possible carriers in affected...
