Popis: We have isolated two genomic clones from the murine dystrophin locus, containing single exons encoding protein sequence from the putative actin-binding domain of the amino-terminus and the terminal portion of the triple helical domain. Using interspecific backcross progeny mice, both clones were shown to be X-linked. Sequence analysis indicated that the amino-terminal clone contains a 173 bp exon exhibiting 90% nucleotide sequence identity to human dystrophin exon 6, whilst the C-terminal clone contains a 61 bp exon with 93% nucleotide sequence identity to the human cDNA sequence.
