Characterization of deletion breakpoints in patients with dystrophinopathy carrying a deletion of exons 45-55 of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene.

Abstract:

:Deletion of exons 45-55 (del45-55) in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene (DMD) has gained particular interest in the field of molecular therapy, because it causes a milder phenotype than DMD, and therefore, may represent a good candidate for the goal of a multiple exon-skipping strategy. We have precisely characterized deletion breakpoints in three patients with del45-55 in DMD. Two of them were young adult males of the X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype, and the third patient revealed the mild Becker muscular dystrophy phenotype of late onset. The deletion breakpoints differed among patients. The deletion started at nt 226 604, 231 518, 117 284 in intron 44, and ended at nt 64 994, 59 314, 71 806 in intron 55, respectively. Deletion junctions showed no significant homology between the sequences adjacent to the distal and proximal end joints in these patients. Deletion breakpoints were not primarily associated with any particular sequence element, or with a matrix attachment region. However, there were several palindromic sequences and short tandem repeats at or near the breakpoints. These sequences, with a marked propensity to form secondary DNA structure intermediates, may predispose local DNA to breakage and intragenic recombination in these patients.
