Mutation Analysis Result Comparison Between Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy.a
Distribution of Mutation | Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy | Becker Muscular Dystrophy | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
No. of Cases | % of Cases (95% CI) | No. of Cases | % of Cases (95% CI) | |
Exon deletion | 29 | 45.3 (33.7-57.4) | 8 | 72.7 (43.4-90.3) |
Exon duplication | 6 | 9.4 (4.4-18.9) | 1 | 9.1 (1.6-37.8) |
Point mutation/small rearrangement | 26 | 40.6 (29.5-52.9) | 2 | 18.2 (5.1-47.7) |
No mutation found | 3 | 4.7 (1.6-12.9) | 0 | 0 |
Total | 64 | 100 | 11 | 100 |
aSome of the value is zero and to make the analysis possible, 0.5 was added to each value for calculation.
