## Communicated by Martin Bobrow Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) type muscular dystrophies are allelic X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. About 65% of the cases are caused by deletions, while 5-10% are duplications. The remaining 30% of affected indiv

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked degenerative disorder of muscle, caused by gross rearrangements by the dystrophin gene in two-thirds of cases. The remaining one-third of patients may carry more subtle mutations that are difficult to detect because of the large size and complexity of
## Communicated by Marc Greenblatt An analysis of mutations was performed in 141 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients previously found to be negative for large deletions by standard multiplex PCR assays. Comprehensive mutation scanning of all coding exons, adjacent intronic splice regions, a
