- Abstract:
-
A DNA deletion in a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) has been delineated by restriction endonuclease mapping. The deletion is unusually small, removing six kilobases (kb) of DNA distal to pERT 87-1 (DXS164). This region has previously been shown to contain an exon of a candidate gene which, when defective, causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or Becker muscular dystrophy. Removal of this exon and surrounding DNA is apparently sufficient, in this case, to cause a BMD phenotype....
