Abstract

The molecular defect in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is well established as being due to mutations at Xp21 which disrupt the normal synthesis of the 14kb dystrophin mRNA. More recently, several groups have identified a 4.8kb transcript from this locus which shares exons with the carboxy-terminal region of the dystrophin gene. In this paper we present evidence for an additional 2.2kb mRNA transcript. The 5' untranslated region and first 7 amino acids are identical to that published for the 4.8kb transcript. The position of the translational stop codon and 3' untranslated region is similar to that previously described as the truncated fetal dystrophin isoform. This 2.2kb mRNA has a similar tissue distribution to that described for the 4.8kb mRNA but unlike the other transcripts from the DMD locus, the 2.2kb mRNA is expressed in early development. The relevance of this transcript in the clinical expression of muscular dystrophy and developmental delay is discussed
