Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder, is caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene encoding a large structural protein in muscle cells.
METHODS: Two probands, a 6-year old boy and a 1-month old infant, respectively, were clinically diagnosed with DMD based on elevated levels of creatine kinase and creatine kinase isoenzyme. CNVplex and whole exome sequencing (WES) were performed for causal variants, and Sanger sequencing was used for verification.
RESULTS: CNVplex found no large deletions or duplications in the DMD gene in both patients, but WES discovered a single-nucleotide deletion in exon 48 (NM_004006.2:c.6963del, p.Asp2322ThrfsTer16) in the proband of pedigree 1, and a nonsense mutation in exon 27 (NM_004006.2:c.3637A>T, p.K1213Ter) in the proband of pedigree 2.
CONCLUSION: The results of our study expand the mutation spectrum of DMD and enrich our understanding of the clinical characteristics of DMD. Genetic counseling was provided for the two families involved in this study.
