The percentage of echinocytes induced after red cell treatment with L-a-lysophosphatidylcholine in the blood of 16 patients affected by Duchenne muscular dystropy (DMD) has been evaluated. Moreover, 15 mothers, 10 sisters, and 15 fathers were also included in the study. We found an increased level
Almost all of the thousands of pathogenic mutations which have been described in the dystrophin gene either reduce protein production or remove large regions of the protein. This has severely limited the use of mutational information for the functional dissection of the dystrophin protein and increa
