ABSTRACT

La distrofia muscular de Duchenne es una de las miopatías hereditarias más frecuentes que existe. Se caracteriza por la degeneración de las fibras musculares esqueléticas, que provocan la invalidez en la primera década de vida y, luego, la muerte por fallos respiratorios o cardíacos El gen responsable de la enfermedad se conoce como DMD y se localiza en el brazo corto del cromosoma X. Se presenta la historia de una familia en que, con un embarazo de 15 semanas, la hermana del enfermo solicita diagnóstico prenatal. Se realizó el estudio molecular indirecto con el marcador polimórfico STR- 50. Tras el análisis de los resultados obtenidos después de aplicada la metodología de laboratorio el feto resultó estar enfermo, y la familia optó por la interrupción del embarazo(AU)
