Résumé
The Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene cloning is presented along with evidence
which indicates that the gene locus encoding the Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(DMD) transcript is extremely large. Partial nucleotide sequence of the cDNA from mouse
and humans has been used to predict the amino acid sequence for a part of the DMD protein.
The protein is highly conserved between the two mammals and might have structural characteristics
similar to other muscle-specific proteins.
