Identification of new markers in Xp21 between DXS28 (C7) and DMD.

چکیده
Characterization of Xp21 distal to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in the region containing the genes for adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) and glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) has been limited due to a paucity of probes. Two probes were localized between DXS28 (C7) and AHC, the yeast artificial chromosome insert YHX39 (DXS727) and the polymorphic phage clone QST59 (DXS319). A genomic clone, FT1 (DXS726), 3' to DMD, was also characterized. Portions of the three probes were sequenced and primer pairs were generated to amplify a sequence-tagged site within each probe. Amplification of DNA from patients confirmed the deletion results obtained by Southern blot analysis, and these three sequence-tagged sites were successfully combined for triplex PCR. In addition to facilitating molecular genetic diagnosis in Xp21, these probes can be used to identify additional YACs and other probes to further increase the genomic information and diagnostic capabilities in this region.

Translocation (X;6) in a female with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: implications for the localisation of the DMD locus.
A female with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who was a carrier of a balanced translocation t(X;6)(p21;q21) is reported. Four other previously described (X;A) translocations associated with DMD share with the present case a breakpoint at Xp21. The extremely low probability of five independent (X;A) translocations having a breakpoint at Xp21 points to a non-rand association of this site with the DMD...

Two DNA markers, a random DNA fragment 754 and the cDNA sequence encoding the gene for ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) have been studied in kindreds segregating for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 754 and OTC are located close physically to the mutation in the region Xp21 below the breakpoints in two Duchenne females. The genetic distance was found to be approximately 10cM between 754 and DMD (tw...
متن کاملDystrophin analysis using a panel of anti-dystrophin antibodies in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.
Dystrophin, the protein product of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene, was studied in 19 patients with Xp21 disorders and in 25 individuals with non-Xp21 muscular dystrophy. Antibodies raised to seven different regions spanning most of the protein were used for immunocytochemistry. In all patients specific dystrophin staining anomalies were detected and correlated with clinical severity...

Background & Aim: Duchenne muscular dystrophy(DMD) which is caused due to the absence of cytoskeletal protein of dystrophin is the second most common, lethal genetic disorder in humans. The gene which is responsible for DMD is localized in the XP21 of human genum. Although genetic pattern and biochemistry of DMD have been recognized, pathophysiology that leads to disabling patients is not k...
متن کاملDuchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy: Contribution of a Molecular and Immunohistochemical Analysis in Diagnosis in Morocco
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations of the DMD gene located at Xp21. In DMD patients, dystrophin is virtually absent; whereas BMD patients have 10% to 40% of the normal amount. Deletions in the dystrophin gene represent 65% of mutations in DMD/BMD patients. To explain the contribution of immunohistochemical a...
