Subcellular Localization of Dystrophin Isoforms in Cardiomyocytes and Phenotypic Analysis of Dystrophin-deficient Mice Reveal Cardiac Myopathy is Predominantly Caused by a Deficiency in Full-length Dystrophin

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive progressive muscle degenerative disorder that causes dilated cardiomyopathy in the second decade of life in affected males. Dystrophin, the gene responsible for DMD, encodes full-length dystrophin and various short dystrophin isoforms. In th...
