Carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy can be, now, more accurately performed with the DNA recombinant techniques. The segregation pattern of DMD gen can be studied using the genetic variants detected at the DNA level (RFLPs) as markers. Cloned fragments within or very close to the gene (intragenic or extragenic probes) are used to reveal the RFLPs. Three families at risk for DMD were studied. Hybridization with extra or intragenic probes was performed and the analyses of several markers allows us to identify the X chromosome carrying the DMD gene. Carrier diagnosis was possible in all three families and a prenatal diagnosis in a carrier mother showed a risk probability of male affected fetus of 93-95%.

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

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).
