Legend
146 DMD-gene deletions found in 242 unrelated DMD/BMD patients from the Turkish population. "(5j)" indicates that the hybridising fragment of exon 5 has an altered size (deletion junction fragment). Deletions were first detected using multiplex PCR, i.e. 18-exon Chamberlain and Beggs sets. A detailed characterisation was performed using cDNA hybridisations or specific PCR for exons 2, 7, 11, 16, 20, 26, 29, 32, 34, 41, 46, 49, 53, 54 and 55. Reported by Onengut et al., (2000) All mutations have been included in the DMD/BMD deletion/duplication database.
