Deletions in the dystrophin gene: analysis of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy patients in Quebec.

abstract：:Mutations in the human patched gene have recently been detected in patients with naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. We have characterised a further 5 novel germ line mutations in patients presenting with multiple odontogenic keratocysts. Four mutations cause premature stop codons and one mutation results in an ami...
