Mosaic pattern of dystrophins in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Dystrophin is the gene product affected in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Dystrophin is demonstrably absent with immunocytochemical staining and undetectable by western blotting of DMD muscles. We report an isolated 7-year-old girl with DMD. Analysis of the patient's and her mother's DNA, with probes covering the DMD gene, disclosed no deletion. We have studied dystrophin in biopsied muscle from the patient using antidystrophin antibody in combination with immunofluorescence. Random presence of normal and dystrophin-deficient fibers were indicative of mosaic expression. Dystrophin immunocytochemistry may be useful for accurate diagnosis of affected females.

Germinoma arising in the basal ganglia in early stage: CT and MR findings.
We report a patient with a germinoma originating in the left basal ganglia. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a relatively well-defined high-density lesion, which was slightly enhanced with contrast medium. No tumor stain was noted on angiography. The mass showed hypointensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and heterogeneous hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging. The lesion was homogeneously enhanced after the administration of Gd-DTPA. To our knowledge, the MR findings of basal ganglia germinoma have been retrospectively reviewed in just four reported cases, only two of which were examined with Gd-DTPA enhancement. The two cases revealed relatively large masses with cysts and peritumoral edema, and were slightly enhanced after the intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA. Our case was thought to be in the early stage, and its CT and MR findings were slightly different from those of previously reported cases.
