In 2006, in a subgroup of 48 GC-treated patients from the Padova DMD cohort, three patients were identified who carried a missense N363S SNP (rs56149945) in the NR3C1 gene (a.k.a. GRL, MIM *138040) encoding the glucocorticoid receptor [55]. The gene discussed is NR3C1; the disease is Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
