In the MLPA-negative DMD group, we found three pathogenic variants in the DMD gene (c.7354G>T, c.7993A>G, and c.5190G>C) that have been described in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Flanigan et al., 2009; Tuffery-Giraud et al., 2009; Okubo et al., 2016). The gene discussed is DMD; the disease is Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
