2021-02-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), uniquely expressed in the myocardium, is a marker for acute myocardial injury. Its clinical significance in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD) and its relation to alpha-actinin-3 ( ACTN3 ) genotype as a genetic modifier of cardiomyopathy are still unknown. <h4>Methods and Results: </h4> Overall, 529 and 131 serum cTnI values of 127 DMD and 47 BMD p...
