A 300-bp EcoRV polymorphism, detected with P20 (DXS269) in intron 44 of the human dystrophin gene, is due to an insertion or deletion. To make this restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) available for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, we sequenced both alleles of this polymorphism a
We utilized a heteroduplex method to screen for small mutations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients who did not have deletions or duplications. A dystrophin exon 53 heteroduplex band was identified in 14.4% of the affected patients. Direct sequencing of the amplified product from DNA producing t
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked neuromuscular disorders associated with alterations in the dystrophin gene. Analysis of 45 DMD/BMD patients has identified 18 patients with no deletion in the dystrophin gene. Heteroduplex analysis (HD), single strand
We describe a common dystrophin gene polymorphism in the black population that alters both HindIII and BglII restriction sites.
