Abstract

An isolated case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a female who has a de novo t(X;5)(p21;q35) translocation is described. The similarities between this patient and four previously reported females with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are discussed. It is concluded that the locus for Duchenne muscular dystrophy is at Xp21 and, furthermore, that this site may be particularly susceptible both to chromosome breakage and exchange and to gene mutation.
