Current knowledge of dystrophin and dystrophin-associated proteins in the retina. [PDF]
Dramatical development of molecular genetics has been disclosing the molecular mechanism of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). DMD gene product, dystrophin, is a submembranous cytoskeletal protein and many dystrophin-associated proteins (DAPs) have been identified, such as utrophin, dystroglycans, sarcoglycans ...

The importance of dystrophin and the dystrophin associated proteins in vascular smooth muscle [PDF]
This review details the role of dystrophin and the dystrophin associated proteins (DAPs) in the vascular smooth muscle. Dystrophin is most comprehensively studied in the skeletal muscle due to serious symptoms found related to the skeletal muscle of ...

Dystrophin (DMD) Missense Variant in Cats with Becker-Type Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
Muscular dystrophy due to dystrophin deficiency in humans is phenotypically divided into a severe Duchenne and milder Becker type. Dystrophin deficiency has also been described in a few animal species, and few DMD gene variants have been identified in ...

Aberrant location of inhibitory synaptic marker proteins in the hippocampus of dystrophin-deficient mice [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease that arises from mutations in the dystrophin-encoding gene. Apart from muscle pathology, cognitive impairment, primarily of developmental origin, is also a significant component of the disorder.

Dystrophin glycoprotein complex dysfunction:a regulatory link between muscular dystrophy and cancer cachexia [PDF]
Cachexia contributes to nearly a third of all cancer deaths, yet the mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle wasting in this syndrome remain poorly defined.

Direct carrier detection by in situ suppression hybridization with cosmid clones of the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy locus [PDF]
A basic problem in genetic counseling of families with Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) concerns the carrier status of female relatives of an affected male. In about 60% of these patients, deletions of one or more exons of the dystrophin gene

Proteomic profiling of Duchenne muscular dystrophy : protein patterns and candidate markers of disease [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene is a severe chronic muscle-wasting disease leading to early loss of ambulation in patients and to death by the third decade.

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is the milder allelic variant of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with higher dystrophin levels. To anticipate on results of interventions targeting dystrophin expression it is important to know the natural variation of ...

Systemic PPMO-mediated dystrophin expression in the Dup2 mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating muscle-wasting disease that arises due to the loss of dystrophin expression, leading to progressive loss of motor and cardiorespiratory function.
