We have identified a new mutation in the tRNA(Lys) gene of mtDNA, in a 49-year-old patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. The mutation is a heteroplasmic G-->A transition at position 8328, which affects the anticodon stem loop at a conserved site. The mutation was neither found in 100 control
Ten different mutations have been identified in patients with Becker (n = 1) or Duchenne (n = 9) muscular dystrophy using reverse transcription of total RNA, polymerase chain reaction amplification of the whole coding region of the gene and protein truncation test (PTT) analysis. Seven mutations had
X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy (XLDC) represents a form of dystrophinopathy with exclusive heart involvement. Here a prenatal diagnosis of this condition performed in a family with XLDC is described. In this family, the causative mutation was a pure intronic deletion, which induces the splicing of
