摘要: Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is caused by large deletions or duplications in two-thirds of the cases. The remaining one-third DMD patients have small mutations gene. Screening for such a daunting and costly task. High resolution melting curve analysis (HR-MCA) followed sequencing amplicons with altered profiles can be used to scan DNA alterations. We first validated technique as screening procedure gene then screened group unrelated 22 DMD/BMD 11 females. managed identify all previously found means HR-MCA, which provided its validation. Furthermore, 17 different pathogenic were group, 10 novel. Our results provide validation HR-MCA powerful inexpensive pre-sequencing scanning method. This technology now ready routine diagnostic use on female carriers.
