## Communicated by Marc Greenblatt Recently, a novel exon was described in TCOF1 that, although alternatively spliced, is included in the major protein isoform. In addition, most published mutations in this gene do not conform to current mutation nomenclature guidelines. Given these observations,
One of the features expected of the gene trap approach is the functional mutation of a gene, allowing its loss-of-function phenotype analysis. We have mutated the murine microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP-4) locus by inserting a splice-acceptor gene trap construct. Because the MAP-4 gene has been
Ten different mutations have been identified in patients with Becker (n = 1) or Duchenne (n = 9) muscular dystrophy using reverse transcription of total RNA, polymerase chain reaction amplification of the whole coding region of the gene and protein truncation test (PTT) analysis. Seven mutations had
