About one third of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients have no gross DNA rearrangements in the dystrophin gene detectable by Southern blot analysis or multiplex exon amplification. Presumably, in these cases, the deficiency is caused by minor structural lesions of the dystrophin gene. However
Enzymatic DNA amplification and direct DNA sequencing were used to detect a mutation in the tyrosinase gene of an albino patient. Single-base change could be detected by direct sequencing. This base change (G to A) is thought to result in an amino acid change (Arg to Gln) in tyrosinase of the patien
