   "Applicable in cases where evaluation of an affected male is not possible. These situations include: 1) a symptomatic carrier female; 2) an obligate female carrier to define the mutation within a family; 3) a female at risk to be a carrier in the absence of an affected male. Genetic counseling is strongly recommended for any family with a history of DMD/BMD. Consultation with the laboratory is preferred before drawing samples."
