Small Mutations of the DMD Gene in Taiwanese Families

Small Mutations of the DMD Gene in Taiwanese Families

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophies are X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene. We aimed to demonstrate the small mutation patterns of the DMD gene in Taiwanese subjects. Methods: We sequenced all 79 exons of the DMD gene in 33 unrelated Taiwa...
