Part Description
LP19502-1 DMD gene
The DMD gene (dystrophin) [HGNC Gene ID:2928] is located on chromosome Xp21.2. The dystrophin gene is the largest gene found in nature, measuring 2.4 Mb. The gene was identified through a positional cloning approach, targeted at the isolation of the gene responsible for Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) Muscular Dystrophies. DMD is a recessive, fatal, X-linked disorder occurring at a frequency of about 1 in 3,500 new-born males. BMD is a milder allelic form. In general, DMD patients carry mutations which cause premature translation termination (nonsense or frame shift mutations), while in BMD patients dystrophin is reduced either in molecular weight (derived from in-frame deletions) or in expression level. The dystrophin gene is highly complex, containing at least eight independent, tissue-specific promoters and two polyA-addition sites. Furthermore, dystrophin RNA is differentially spliced, producing a range of different transcripts, encoding a large set of protein isoforms. Dystrophin (as encoded by the Dp427 transcripts) is a large, rod-like cytoskeletal protein which is found at the inner surface of muscle fibers. Dystrophin is part of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which bridges the inner cytoskeleton (F-actin) and the extra-cellular matrix. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] [NCBI Gene ID:1756]

- Change Reason
- Based on LOINC Committee review (June 2016), "targeted" was added to the Component to clarify that this test is looking for a specific set of mutations as described in the LOINC User Guide under the Molecular Genetics section.; Based on LOINC Committee review (June 2019), updated the Property from "Prid" to "Find" and Scale from "Nar" to "Doc" to align with the current LOINC model for naming collections of information reported in narrative and/or structured formats.
