Abstract:
Probe C7, pERT87-15, 754 which on the short arm of the X chromosome are used in the linkage analysis of a DMD family by the use of restriction fragment length porlymorphism (RFLP) and serum CPK, CPK-MB are detected. Three obligated carriers are determined and we also find a deletion to pERT87-15 in this family.

Overview
01:43Sex-linked Disorders
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
01:21Satellite Stem Cells and Muscular Dystrophy
Satellite stem cells or myosatellite cells are quiescent stem cells that Alexander Mauro first identified in 1961. These cells are located between the sarcolemma, the plasma membrane of muscle fibers, and the basal lamina, the connective tissue sheath covering it. These mononucleated cells are activated in response to muscle injury, can transform into myoblasts, and may form or repair muscle fibers. Myosatellite cells can provide additional myonuclei for muscle regeneration or return to a...
