Introduction: The mdx4cv mouse is a common model to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The most used methodology to identify the genotype of these mice is Sanger DNA sequencing. Methods: Here, we provide a simple, cost‐effective alternative approach to identify the wild‐type, heterozygous, or homozygous/hemizygous genotypes of these mice, using commonly available laboratory equipment and reagents. Results: Our technique exploits a restriction fragment length polymorphism that is generated by the point mutation found in exon 53 of mdx4cv mice. Conclusions: This technique can benefit laboratories that require complex breeding strategies involving mdx4cv mice. Muscle Nerve 56: 522–524, 2017

Tichy et al. (2017) studied Duchenne muscular dystrophy (mdx4cv mouse model). PCR-RFLP analysis vs. Sanger DNA sequencing was evaluated on Identification of wild-type, heterozygous, or homozygous/hemizygous genotypes. PCR-RFLP analysis provides a simple, cost-effective alternative to Sanger sequencing for identifying the genotypes of mdx4cv mice by exploiting a point mutation in exon 53.
