Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2021 Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe, progressive, muscle-wasting disease that leads to difficulties with movement and, eventually, to the need for assisted ventilation and premature death. The disease is caused by mutations in DMD (encoding dystrophin) that abolish the production of dystrophin in muscle.

Sarcospan Regulates Cardiac Isoproterenol Response and Prevents Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy–Associated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015 Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal cardiac and skeletal muscle disease resulting from mutations in the dystrophin gene. We have previously demonstrated that a dystrophin‐associated protein, sarcospan (SSPN), ameliorated Duchenne muscular ...

Targeting RyR Activity Boosts Antisense Exon 44 and 45 Skipping in Human DMD Skeletal or Cardiac Muscle Culture Models [PDF]
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2019 Systemic delivery of antisense oligonucleotides (AO) for DMD exon skipping has proven effective for reframing DMD mRNA, rescuing dystrophin expression, and slowing disease progression in animal models.

Genetic modifiers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major complication and leading cause of death in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DCM onset is variable, suggesting modifier effects of genetic or environmental factors.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2014 A 15-year-old boy presented with progressive proximal weakness of the lower limbs starting at 4 years of age followed by involvement of the upper limbs. He is the product of a consanguineous marriage; he had a family history of similar disease in a second-degree cousin and also had a history of delayed motor developmental milestones since birth ...

Quantitative immuno-mass spectrometry imaging of skeletal muscle dystrophin
Scientific 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 ...
