DDT and Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Figure 1D shows the expression levels of the four principal hubs (MIF, DDT, CD74, and CD44) of the MIF network in the two individual microarray datasets used for the meta-analysis (Figure 1D). In order to determine whether the involvement of the MIF network was recapitulated in vitro, we interrogated the GSE79263 dataset, which contains the transcriptional profiles of primary myotubes from healthy and DMD patients. As shown in Table 1, no statistically significant differences were observed in the expression levels of the MIF-related genes between healthy and DMD samples (Table 1).
