Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification Identification of Deletions and Duplications of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Gene in Taiwanese Subjects

Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification Identification of Deletions and Duplications of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Gene in Taiwanese Subjects

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X- linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in the DMD gene. We intended to determine the distribution of DMD gene deletions and duplications in local Taiwanese male patients and potential female carriers. Methods: A tot...
