A new screening method involving the multiplex polymerase chain reaction was developed to detect dystrophin gene deletions in Japanese patients with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). Eleven exonic regions including deletion "hot spots" were analyzed. Gene deletions were found in 33% of 92 unrelated Japanese patients, mainly in the central portion (exons 43-52) and at the 5' end (exons 1-17). This is a useful laboratory test for the rapid genetic diagnosis of DMD/BMD.
一种涉及多重聚合酶链反应的新型筛查方法被开发出来,用于检测日本杜氏和贝克型肌营养不良症(DMD/BMD)患者的抗肌萎缩蛋白基因缺失。分析了包括缺失“热点”在内的11个外显子区域。在92名无亲缘关系的日本患者中,33%发现了基因缺失,主要位于中央部分(外显子43 - 52)和5'端(外显子1 - 17)。这是一种用于DMD/BMD快速基因诊断的有用实验室检测方法。
