Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating X-linked degenerative muscle disease affecting approximately 1 in 5,000 boys, caused by lack of functional dystrophin protein, Dystrophin is essential to muscle integrity via its role as a shock absorber that stabilizes the plasma membrane, or sarcolemma, of muscle cells against mechanical stress [1]. Here, DMD is linked to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
