Classical segregation analysis was performed on 651 male probands in 597 families with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) collected from 20 of 25 National Institutions for Muscle Diseases in Japan. The proportion of sporadic cases is compatible with 1/3 expected for an X-linked lethal trait with an e

The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of genetic counseling in young women at risk to have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) children prior to childbearing. A total of 263 potential DMD carriers, who had had genetic counseling and were given different genetic risks, were included in
Carrier status determination for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (D/BMD), disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene at Xp21, is complicated by a number of factors. These include a high mutation rate and a 5-10% recombination frequency across the dystrophin gene. For these reasons
The serum activity of creatine kinase (CK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) was measured in 98 pairs of same-sex Brazilian twins. The purpose of this study was to estimate the genetic and environmental components of serum activity levels for both enzymes. Heritabilities were estimated separately by path ana
