The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of genetic counseling in young women at risk to have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) children prior to childbearing. A total of 263 potential DMD carriers, who had had genetic counseling and were given different genetic risks, were included in
We read with interest the report of Frydman et al. [1995] who described a child with DMD whose father had idiopathic hyperCKemia. We have been following another family in which both DMD and presumed idiopathic hyperCKemia are seen, in which for several years there was confusion in the genetic counse
Female carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) may demonstrate elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) and reduction of muscle dystrophin in all muscle types. We hypothesized that decreased dystrophin in uterine or pelvic girdle musculature might affect the obstetrical performance of females heter
Classical segregation analysis was performed on 651 male probands in 597 families with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) collected from 20 of 25 National Institutions for Muscle Diseases in Japan. The proportion of sporadic cases is compatible with 1/3 expected for an X-linked lethal trait with an e
