We studied 38 unrelated patients from southern France with Duchenne (DMD) or Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophy for intragenic deletions of the DMD/BMD gene. We used both multiplex amplification of selected exons and cDNA probes. Of the 26 (68%) unrelated individuals found to have deletions, 24 (92%) w
A DNA deletion in a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) has been delineated by restriction endonuclease mapping. The deletion is unusually small, removing six kilobases (kb) of DNA distal to pERT 87-1 (DXS164). This region has previously been shown to contain an exon of a candidate gene whi
