Mitochondria in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy-induced Cardiomyopathy: A Prospective Therapeutic Target to Improve Treatment Response
2024-01-31
Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations to the dystrophin gene - resulting in deficiency of dystrophin protein, loss of myofiber integrity in skeletal and cardiac muscle, and eventual cell death and replacement with fibrotic tissue. Pathologic cardiac manifestations occur in nearly every DMD patient, with development of cardiomyopathy - the leading cause of deat...
