Molecular Diagnosis of Duchenne/Becker Muscular Dystrophy: Analysis of Exons Deletion and Carrier Detection
Objective: Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (DMD and BMD) are X-linked conditionsresulting from a defect in the dystrophin gene located at Xp21.2. DMD is the mostfrequent neuromuscular disease in humans (1/3500 male newborns). In approximately65% of DMD and BMD patients, deletions in the dystr...
