The presence of a CA repeat within the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the dystrophin gene has been reported previously in several species. Because microsatellites showing high cross-species homology can be conveniently used as markers in those species for which detailed linkage maps have not yet be
A 300-bp EcoRV polymorphism, detected with P20 (DXS269) in intron 44 of the human dystrophin gene, is due to an insertion or deletion. To make this restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) available for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, we sequenced both alleles of this polymorphism a
