## Communicated by Ulf Landegren Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD) are caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Large rearrangements in the gene are found in about two-thirds of DMD patients, with B60% carrying deletions and 5-10% carrying duplications. Most of the remaining
## For the Focus Section on Array-CGH The dystrophinopathies, which include Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy, are X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD). Approximately 70% of
