1986). Dystrophin is a vital component of the dystrophin-associated protein complex, which connects the cytoskeleton of individual myofibers to the basal lamina (Campbell and Kahl 1989). Absence of dystrophin results in a loss of this complex, and compromises the sarcolemma leading to cycles of muscle fiber degeneration and regeneration, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis (Matsumura and Campbell 1994; McNally and Pytel 2007). There is currently no cure for DMD, although various potential therapies are being tested (Fairclough et al. 2011; Pichavant et al. 2011). Here, DMD is linked to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
