    • The dystrophinopathies, which include Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and X‐linked dilated cardiomyopathy, are X‐linked recessive neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD). Approximately 70% of mutations causing DMD/BMD are deletions or duplications and the remainder are point mutations. Current clinical diagnostic strategies have limits of resolution that make detection of small DMD deletions and duplications difficult to… CONTINUE READING
