Abstract excerpt
5'-mutations in the dystrophin gene can result in cardiomyopathy without clinically-apparent skeletal myopathy. The effect of dystrophin mutations on the assembly and stability of the dystrophin associated protein (DAP) complex in human heart are not fully understood. The molecular defect in the dystrophin complex was explored in a family with an X-linked pedigree and severe dilated cardiomyopathy. Dystrophin...
