title: A novel insertional mutation of a single base on exon 12 of the dystrophin gene.
abstract: A new point mutation in exon 12 of the dystrophin gene was identified in a DMD patient using multiple SSCP analysis, which allows the simultaneous study of several exons. The mutation is an A insertion at position 1580 of the cDNA sequence, leading to a stop codon in the translational reading frame. This mutation was not observed in a sample of 70 DMD patients.
