Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe X chromosome-linked, muscle-wasting disease caused by lack of the protein dystrophin. The exact function of dystrophin remains to be determined. However, analysis of its interaction with a large oligomeric protein complex at the sarcolemma and the identification of a structurally related protein, utrophin, is leading to the characterization of candidate genes for other neuromuscular disorders.Entities:
