Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by DMD mutations leading to dystrophin loss. Full length Dp427 is the primary dystrophin isoform expressed in skeletal muscle and is also expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). Two shorter isoforms, Dp140 and Dp71, are highly expressed in the CNS. While a role for Dp140 and Dp71 on DMD CNS co-morbidities is well known, relationships between la...
