Turner's syndrome and Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a girl with an X; autosome translocation

Ann Genet. 1984;27(3):173-7.

Abstract

A balanced de novo (X;9) translocation was observed in a patient with progressive muscular dystrophy of Duchenne's type (DMD), Turner's syndrome, epilepsy and mental retardation. The involvement of the paternal X is suggested. The assignment of the gene locus for DMD is confirmed on Xp21.
