Dystrophinopathy with a <i>DMD</i> exon 49-50 deletion in a female patient who developed schizophrenia: An autopsy case. [PDF]
Abstract Background Mutations in DMD affect not only muscles but also the brain. Cases of schizophrenia with DMD mutations have been described previously. Although female dystrophinopathy often has a milder phenotype, some affected females also have intellectual disabilities and psychiatric disorders.

Are mice good models for human neuromuscular disease? Comparing muscle excursions in walking between mice and humans [PDF]
The mouse is one of the most widely used animal models to study neuromuscular diseases and test new therapeutic strategies. However, findings from successful pre-clinical studies using mouse models frequently fail to translate to humans due to various ...

Cmah-dystrophin deficient mdx mice display an accelerated cardiac phenotype that is improved following peptide-PMO exon skipping treatment [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by loss of dystrophin protein, leading to progressive muscle weakness and premature death due to respiratory and/or cardiac complications.
