The identification of a novel splicing mutation in the DMD gene of a Chinese family

The Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) gene variants are associated with the disease phenotypes. The pathogenic mutation, c.2293-1G>C, was detected in DMD gene in the proband and the fetus, which has not been reported in the literature.The minigene expression in vitro confirmed that c.2293-1G>C is responsible of aberrant splicing.
