The importance of direct genetic testing for determining female carriers of the mutation in dystrophinopathies [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2023
Background/Aim. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (MD) and Becker MD are caused by mutations in the gene for dystrophin (DMD). They are X chromosome-linked recessive diseases where males are affected, and females are healthy carriers of the mutation in most ...

Quantitative immuno-mass spectrometry imaging of skeletal muscle dystrophin

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Emerging and promising therapeutic interventions for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are confounded by the challenges of quantifying dystrophin. Current approaches have poor precision, require large amounts of tissue, and are difficult to standardize ...

Transcriptomic analysis of paired healthy human skeletal muscles to identify modulators of disease severity in DMD

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Muscle damage and fibro-fatty replacement of skeletal muscles is a main pathologic feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with more proximal muscles affected earlier and more distal affected later in the disease course, suggesting that different ...
