For example, the DMD gene variants c.7354G>T, c.7993A>G, and c.5190G>C, which we found in the MLPA-negative DMD group, have been reported in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Flanigan et al., 2009; Tuffery-Giraud et al., 2009; Okubo et al., 2016). This evidence concerns the gene DMD and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
