as a candidate gene in these families. The elucida- 
tion of the nature of the autosomal mutations may 
lead to a better understanding of dystrophin regu- 
lation, function, and interaction with other muscle 
proteins. 
Dr. Francke is also Professor of Genetics and of 
Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medi- 
cine. Since Dr. Francke joined the Institute in Janu- 
ary 1989, much of the work reported was also sup- 
ported through the National Institutes of Health.
