Abstract
The family of a male with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and a deletion within the dystrophin gene has been studied. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of ectopic mRNA from peripheral blood T+B lymphocytes and the use of (CA)n repeat polymorphisms in and around the deleted region showed the proband's mother to be both a germline mosaic and a somatic mosaic for the deletion seen in her son. The mutation therefore occurred as a mitotic event early in embryogenesis.Entities:
