The locus DXS269 (P20) defines a deletion hotspot in the distal part of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy gene. We have cloned over 90 kilobase-pairs of genomic DNA from this region in overlapping cosmids. The use of whole cosmids as probes in a competitive DNA hybridization analysis proves a fast and convenient method for identifying rearrangements in this region. A rapid survey of P20-deletion patients is carried out to elucidate the nature of the propensity to deletions in this region. Using this technique, deletion breakpoints are pinpointed to individual restriction fragments in patient DNAs without the need for tedious isolation of single copy sequences. Simultaneously, the deletion data yield a consistent restriction map of the region and permit detection of several RFLPs. A 176 bp exon was identified within the cloned DNA, located 3' of an intron exceeding 150 Kb in length. Its deletion causes a frameshift in the dystrophin reading frame and produces the DMD phenotype. This exon is one of the most frequently deleted exons in BMD/DMD patients and its sequence is applied in a pilot study for diagnostic deletion screening using Polymerase Chain Reaction amplification.

D009124 Muscle Proteins The protein constituents of muscle, the major ones being ACTINS and MYOSINS. More than a dozen accessory proteins exist including TROPONIN; TROPOMYOSIN; and DYSTROPHIN. Muscle Protein,Protein, Muscle,Proteins, Muscle
D009136 Muscular Dystrophies A heterogeneous group of inherited MYOPATHIES, characterized by wasting and weakness of the SKELETAL MUSCLE. They are categorized by the sites of MUSCLE WEAKNESS; AGE OF ONSET; and INHERITANCE PATTERNS.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
