Dystrophin analysis in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophy

A M Norman et al. Arch Dis Child. 1989 Oct.

Abstract

We present a family in which the differential diagnosis between X linked Duchenne muscular dystrophy and autosomal recessive Duchenne-like muscular dystrophy was resolved in favour of the latter by analysis of dystrophin, which is the protein product of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus.
