| Resumo | |
A form of dystrophinopathy with mild or subclinical neuromuscular signs has been previously reported in a family of Labrador retrievers. Markedly and persistently elevated creatine kinase activity was first noted at 6 months of age. Skeletal muscle biopsies revealed a dystrophic phenotype, with dystrophin non-detectable on western blotting and immunohistochemical staining, and with increased utrophin expression. In this report we demonstrate with western blotting that alpha-dystroglycan is present at essentially normal levels. Whole genome sequencing has also now revealed an approximately 400kb tandem genomic DNA duplication including exons 2-7 of the DMD gene that was inserted into intron 7 of the wild type gene. Skeletal muscle cDNA from 2 cases contained DMD transcripts as expected from an in-frame properly-spliced exon 2-7 tandem insertion. A similar 5' duplication involving DMD exons 2-7 has been reported in a human family with dilated cardiomyopathy but without skeletal myopathy. This is the 3rd confirmed mutation in the DMD gene in Labrador retrievers. (c) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
