## Abstract We present a family in which three siblings were born with neonatal Marfan syndrome (MFS) to unaffected parents. The clinical findings included joint contractures, large ears, loose skin, ectopia lentis, muscular hypoplasia, aortic root dilatation, mitral and tricuspid valve insufficien
Mutations in the DMD gene, encoding the dystrophin protein, are responsible for the dystrophinopathies Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), and X-linked Dilated Cardiomyopathy (XLDC). Mutation analysis has traditionally been challenging, due to the large gene size (79
We report on two unprecedented cases of pseudoexon (PE) activation in the DMD gene resulting from pure intronic double-deletion events that possibly involve microhomology-mediated mechanisms. Array comparative genomic hybridization analysis and direct genomic sequencing allowed us to elucidate the c
