Longitudinal Study of Three microRNAs in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Our objective was to investigate the potential of three microRNAs, miR-181a-5p, miR-30c-5p, and miR-206 as prognostic biomarkers for long-term follow up of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients.
