Investigating the role of dystrophin isoform deficiency in motor function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Summary
Our results highlight the importance of considering expected effects of DMD mutations on dystrophin isoform production when considering patterns of DMD motor impairment and the implications for clinical practice and clinical trials. Our results suggest a complex relationship between dystrophin isoforms expressed in the brain and DMD motor function. © 2022 The Authors.
