Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive and progressive muscle disease caused by mutations of the dystrophin gene, a protein involved in stabilization of the sarcolema, regulation of the muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and in signal transduction. Lack of dystrophin in the central nervous system (CNS) causes brain atrophy, changes in the neuronal structures and syn…
Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive X-linked muscle disease caused by mutation of the dystrophin gene and lack of the protein expression. Dystrophin is a subsarcolemal protein of the striated muscle fibers involved in the mechanical stability of the muscle fibers. The lack of protein expression causes microruptures in the sarcolema during contractile activity leading to musc…
