Figure 4From: Two novel missense mutations in the myostatin gene identified in Japanese patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy A novel deletion mutation in the 3' untranslated region of the myostatin gene. A part of the sequencing result for the 3' untranslated region of the myostatin gene is shown. In the control all of the sequences matched with that of the wild-type sequence (Genbank: AC073120), including the repeat of AT dinucleotides (boxes) (control). In the sequence of one DMD case (case 100) the repeat of AT dinucleotides was not present, removing AT dinucleotides at 2264 and 2265th nucleotide (c.2264-2265delAT) (patient).Back to article page
