The DYSF gene homepage

This database is one of the gene variant databases from the Leiden Muscular Dystrophy pages
NOTE: the DYSF coding DNA reference sequence used has been updated. The "DNA_change" column gives descriptions based on NM_003494.3, meaning that exon 40b has been removed and variant descriptions 3' of c.4410 differ from those given previously (-63 nucleotides). The column "DNA_AllExon" gives descriptions based on a transcript incl. exons 5b and 40b. For details see the DYSF coding DNA reference sequence.
