2. Suppose a couple brought to you their 8-year old boy with progressive muscle weakness, and
difficultyin motor skills resulting to awkward manner of walking and running. The boy's 15-year old
sister and 11-year old brother appear to be unaffected. They have a normal father and a normal
pregnant mother. The mother had a brother who died at 26 yrs. of age with similar findings that
seemed to worsen with age. The mother also has a sister with the same findings but it only
manifested during her 28th year. Her sister, who married an unaffected man, has two affected sons
and a normal daughter. You suspect a diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
a. Draw the pedigree of this family. Follow protocols in making a pedigree. Provide the
genotypeof all individuals in the pedigree. Please provide also the gene notation.
