For the first time screening deletions of DMD/BMD patients in the northeast of China, we have found distribution of the deletions mainly lied in two hot-spots, neighboring regions of exon 8 might be a real deletion 'hot spot' in this area compared with other areas of our country.     ///    "To detect the distribution characteristics of dystrophin gene deletions of the DMD/BMD patients in the northeast of China and apply for prenatal gene diagnosis, we have analyzed the distribution of the breakpoints of the deleted-patients and the optimized primer-assembly after screening deletions of 120 DMD/BMD patients via multiplex PCR with 12-pair primers and male high-risk fetuses have been detected deletion by multiplex PCR."    ///    " To detect the distribution characteristics of dystrophin gene deletions of the DMD/BMD patients in the northeast of China and apply for prenatal gene diagnosis, we have analyzed the distribution of the breakpoints of the deleted-patients and the optimized primer-assembly after screening deletions of 120 DMD/BMD patients via multiplex PCR with 12-pair primers and male high-risk fetuses have been detected deletion by multiplex PCR.
