Abstract A 2‐month‐old male patient harboring a duplication of DMD exons 1–7 classified as pathogenic by an outside institution presented with mildly elevated creatine phosphokinase (CK); molecular breakpoint analysis by our laboratory reclassified the duplication as likely benign. To date, proband continues to develop normally with decreased CK, further supporting our reclassification.
