Abstract

Dystrophin, the protein product of the DMD gene, is a component of the muscle-membrane cytoskeleton. Mutations in the DMD gene result in the allelic myopathies Duchenne and Becket muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD). The majority of mutations causing DMD and BMD are large intragenic deletions. The spectrum of these deletions can be used to explain the differences in the clinical severity between DMD and BMD patients. In general, mutations causing BMD, the milder disorder, maintain the translational reading frame of dystrophin and result in near normal amounts of an internally truncated protein. By contrast, deletions causing DMD disrupt the reading frame of dystrophin, often resulting in premature translational termination. Thus, DMD patients often produce little or no detectable dystrophin.
