  • Title: Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a girl with an (X;15) translocation.
    Author: Ribeiro MC, Melaragno MI, Schmidt B, Brunoni D, Gabbai AA, Hackel C.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1986 Oct; 25(2):231-6. PubMed ID: 3777020.
    Abstract:
    This is a report of a girl with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) associated with an 46,X,t (X;15) (p21; q 26) chromosome constitution. Although in the eight published cases of girls with DMD and a t(X;aut) different autosomes were involved in the translocation, the breakpoint was always at Xp21. The present case supports the hypothesis that the DMD gene must be located at Xp21. In this study, involvement of the father's chromosomes in the translocation was detected.
