Psychosis in a Patient with Muscular Dystrophy : Case Report and Literature Review
European Psychiatry, 2023 Introduction Knowledge about muscular dystrophies and in particular X-linked inherited disorders such as Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy has been gradually acquired as more research studies have been conducted to better understand the ...

Nitric oxide regulates skeletal muscle fatigue, fiber type, microtubule organization, and mitochondrial ATP synthesis efficiency through cGMP-dependent mechanisms [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: Skeletal muscle nitric oxide–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) pathways are impaired in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy partly because of reduced nNOSμ and soluble guanylate cyclase (GC) activity.

Creation of a novel algorithm to identify patients with Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophy within an administrative database and application of the algorithm to assess cardiovascular morbidity [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: Outcome analyses in large administrative databases are ideal for rare diseases such as Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Unfortunately, Becker and Duchenne do not yet have specific International Classification of Disease-9/-10 codes.

TNF-α-Induced microRNAs Control Dystrophin Expression in Becker Muscular Dystrophy
Cell Reports, 2015 The amount and distribution of dystrophin protein in myofibers and muscle is highly variable in Becker muscular dystrophy and in exon-skipping trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Here, we investigate a molecular basis for this variability.

Investigating synthetic oligonucleotide targeting of miR31 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2016 Exon-skipping via synthetic antisense oligonucleotides represents one of the most promising potential therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), yet this approach is highly sequence-specific and thus each oligonucleotide is of benefit to only a ...

Targeted Exon Skipping to Address “Leaky” Mutations in the Dystrophin Gene
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2012 Protein-truncating mutations in the dystrophin gene lead to the progressive muscle wasting disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy, whereas in-frame deletions typically manifest as the milder allelic condition, Becker muscular dystrophy.
