Muscular dystrophy in mice caused by two different alterations of dystrophin gene.

Abstract excerpt

The study addressed the question of the functional significance of various isoforms of dystrophin. Mice bearing two different alterations of the dystrophin gene, mdx and mdx-beta geo, were examined. Dystrophic mice with mdx mutation do not express full-length dystrophins, while they express short dystrophins; on the other hand, the dystrophic mice with mdx-beta geo mutation express neither full-length nor short...
