Abstract
The search for specific genes in chromosomal regions implicated in particular diseases or associated with certain functions is one of the approaches that may lead to a molecular analysis of inherited albeit biochemically ill defined traits. This strategy is presently pursued to understand the mechanism of some genetically determined diseases such as the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Monaco et al., 1986).
