Deletions

Are there any carriers who share the same deletions as their children? Also, can certain deletions show the severity of DMD? My son and I have deletions of 38 to 43. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are a carrier then you will have the same deletion/mutation/duplication as your son. You pass on that piece of DNA, and it's defects to your children. If you have a daughter who is a carrier hers would be the same also.
