From the abstract
Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is caused by variants in the X-linked DMD gene-most commonly deletions, duplications, or point mutations, and only rarely by complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs). In this study, structural variant sequencing (SVseq) was applied to a 14-year-old male patient with DMD.
