Furthermore, mitochondria fragmentation has also been involved in muscle degeneration in a model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in C. elegans, which combines mutations of both hlh‐1/myoD and dys‐1/dystrophin (Giacomotto et al., 2013; Gieseler et al., 2000). The gene discussed is MYOD1; the disease is Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
