Using the polymerase chain reaction, we examined the allele frequencies and heterozygosities of six (CA)n markers of the dystrophin gene in Koreans. Allele frequencies of these markers were different from those reported for Caucasians. The heterozygosity values for these markers range from 29 to 86%. With the exception of the STR50 marker, these values were lower than those of Caucasians. However, all markers except for the 3'CA marker showed PIC values over 0.5, suggesting a high degree of polymorphism. Therefore, this study will be useful in linkage analysis for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy families in the Korean population.
