Molecular and clinical correlations of deletions leading to Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies
Abstract
Human DMD cDNA probes have been used to delineate possible deletions in 160 affected males. Approximately 56% of these individuals had detectable deletions, 29% of which mapped to a region centered around 500 kb from the 5' end of the gene whereas 69% mapped to a region located centrally 1,200 kb from the 5' end. We have observed no correlation between the extent of a deletion, its location, and clinical severity of the associated disease. For some cases with deletions in the two high-frequency deletion regions, the predicted effect upon translational reading frame of the resultant dystrophin mRNA did not correlate with the associated disease phenotype.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
