Macroglossia associated with 271 bp deletion in exon 50 of dystrophin geneKeywords: Dystrophin , genetics , muscular dystrophy Abstract: Macroglossia is rare in patients of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and its occurrence without any endocrinologic abnormality, seizures or an abnormal karyotype is even rarer. We describe a patient of DMD with isolated macroglossia with 271 bp deletion in exon 50 of the dystrophin gene and speculate a relationship in this regard.
