Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscle-wasting disorder. It is caused
by loss-of-function mutations in the dystrophin gene. Currently, there is no cure. A highly …

A large and complex gene on the X chromosome encodes dystrophin. Many mutations have
been described in this gene, most of which affect the expression of the muscle isoform, the …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by frameshift mutations in the DMD gene
that prevent the body-wide translation of its protein product, dystrophin. Besides a severe …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive neuromuscular condition that has a high rate
of cognitive and learning disabilities as well as neurobehavioral disorders, some of which …
