DMD and Duchenne muscular dystrophy: It is possible that with the current increase of the number of proteins localized to MT, especially proteins not directly linked with ATP production, there is a high probability for dystrophin to be expressed in MT from two points of view: (1) the pathology of DMD is well explained by MT dysfunction [40,41], (2) MT functional aberration has been postulated to be a primary rather than secondary event in DMD [42].
