Splicing mutation of a gene within the Duchenne muscular dystrophy family
“Splicing mutation of a gene within the Duchenne muscular dystrophy family”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, The aim of this study was to identify the mutation site and phenotype of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene in a DMD family. The DMD gene is by far the largest known gene in humans. Up to 34% of the point mutations reported to date affect splice sites of the DMD gene. However, no hotspot mutation has been reported. Capture sequencing of second-generation exons was used to investigate the DMD gene in a proband. Sanger sequencing was performed for mutation scanning in eight family members.
