Xp21/autosome translocations. Case report and risk for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 1986

J J Holden, and A Smith, and P M MacLeod, and R Masotti, and A M Duncan

An isolated case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a 15-year-old retarded girl with a de novo t(X;2) (p21.2;q37) translocation is described. Her clinical history is presented, with particular emphasis on CK level determinations made at several different times during her development. The similarities between this patient and previously reported females with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are discussed with reference to de novo translocations with a breakpoint at Xp21 and the risk of DMD in such females.

D008040 Genetic Linkage The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME. Genetic Linkage Analysis,Linkage, Genetic,Analyses, Genetic Linkage,Analysis, Genetic Linkage,Genetic Linkage Analyses,Linkage Analyses, Genetic,Linkage Analysis, Genetic
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
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.

D002904 Chromosomes, Human, 21-22 and Y The short, acrocentric human chromosomes, called group G in the human chromosome classification. This group consists of chromosome pairs 21 and 22 and the Y chromosome. Chromosomes G,Group G Chromosomes,Chromosomes, Human, 21 22,Chromosomes, Human, 21-22,Chromosome, Group G,Chromosomes, Group G,Group G Chromosome
D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
