Abstract
To the Editor: We wish to report our experience with lymphocyte capping for the detection of carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy; we have used a method of our own as well as those described by Pickard et al. in the October 19, 1978, issue of the Journal and by Hauser et al. in the April 12, 1979, issue.We have studied lymphocyte capping in four obligate carriers (by means of pedigree analysis and creatine phosphokinase testing) with appropriate normal female controls. All four carriers were tested with the following technic: a Hypaque-Ficoll separation was performed and the resulting mononuclear layer . . .Keywords
