A total of 56 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients and 11 Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients was analyzed by extended "multiplex" amplification of the DMD/BMD gene; deletions were found in 60% of these patients. The data obtained were used to test the frameshift hypothesis and to compare

The existence of linkage has been investigated between the Xg blood group system, two DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) located on the short arm of the X chromosome, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). No linkage was found between the Xg locus a
A set of nine polymorphic loci defined by DNA probes was studied for linkage with the disease locus in ten families with a history of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and three families with a history of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). The results confirm DMD and BMD linkage to all marker loci an
