Confirmation and characterization of the rearrangements. (A) Confirmation of the deletion of exons 1A/1B-2 by long-range PCR and sequencing of the breakpoints. (B) Confirmation of the deletion of exons 5–14 by long-range PCR and sequencing of the breakpoints. (C) Confirmation of the deletion of exons 11–12 by long-range PCR and sequencing of the breakpoints. Lanes 1+, 2+, carriers of the deletion; lane C-, negative control (wt); lane B, blank; lane M, marker (Ready-Load™ 1 Kb DNA Ladder, Invitrogen).
