A 23-year-old man with X-linked Becker type muscular dystrophy underwent cardiac transplantation because of dilated cardiomyopathy which was complicated by terminal heart failure. Impairment of muscle function was mild and slowly progressive, whereas the cardiac disease was severe and rapidly progre
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive and lethal neuromuscular disorder caused by a defective gene on the X chromosome. There is no effective treatment and the biochemical defect is yet unknown. Mapping of the DMD locus to band Xp21 in the short arm of the X chromosome has given rise to
The molecular genetics of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy was investigated in 81 affected Turkish families. Deletions were detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays and cDNA Southern analyses. The distribution of the deletions along the gene and their correlation to clinical phenotyp
