Deletion mutations in DMD/BMD identified in België (Leuven)

(last modified October 14, 2004)


Below an overview of the deletions/duplications that have been detected in the DMD-gene in DMD and BMD patients in Leuven (België). The changes have been contributed by dr. Gert Matthijs in collaboration with Annemie Meertens (Center for Human Genetics, University of Leuven; full address). The changes have been included in the DMD-gene deletion/duplication database.


Totals

Of the DMD / BMD patients analysed 121 contained a detectable change; 99 a deletion, 11 a duplication, 1 a triplication and 10 a point mutation (see DMD-gene point mutation database).

Legend
Deletions in the DMD-gene identified in DMD / BMD patients in Leuven (België). Deletions were detected initially using multiplex PCR (Chamberlain and Beggs sets) and Southern blotting. Recently, DMD-gene MLPA analysis was used to detect deletions and duplications. For cDNA descriptions see DMD cDNA probes.
