The mdx mouse, an animal model used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has a nonsense mutation in exon 23 of the dystrophin gene which should result in a truncated protein that cannot be correctly localized at the sarcolemma of the muscle fibers. Immunohistochemical staining with antidystrophin a
## Communicated by Martin Bobrow Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) type muscular dystrophies are allelic X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. About 65% of the cases are caused by deletions, while 5-10% are duplications. The remaining 30% of affected indiv
The presence of transposable elements (TEs) was suggested by us two years ago to explain the familial occurrence of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) through paternal lines in 4 families among 454 who had been ascertained in our center [Zatz et al., 19911. The possible involvement of transposons wou
