Defective myoblasts identified in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
A defect in the proliferative capacity of satellite cells, mononucleated precursors of mature muscle fibers, was found in clonal analyses of cells cultured from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. The total yield of myoblasts per gram of muscle biopsy was decreased to 5% of normal. Of the DMD myoblast clones obtained, a large proportion contained a morphological class of flat distended ...
متن کاملP164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...

All rights re http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nmd.2013.07.013 We read with interest the recent debate on steroids, growth and motor function decline in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) [1–3]. The efficacy and safety of growth hormone treatment in 39 ambulant DMD boys with glucocorticoid-induced growth failure was recently evaluated [3]. The authors o...
متن کاملSteroids in Duchenne dystrophy.
The mills of God grind slowly. The medical profession are not far behind. It is almost 40 years since Drachman et al. [1] in an open study of 14 patients with Duchenne dystrophy, aged 3–10 years, for periods ranging from 1 to 28 months, concluded that steroids might have some palliative benefit, and that further studies were needed. Some 14 years later Brooke and his colleagues [2] took up the ...
متن کاملDuchenne muscular dystrophy An overview of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) affects approximately 1 in 3,500 live male births [1]. It is caused by a large variety of mutations in the dystrophin gene. Because of these mutations, the body can no longer make dystrophin which is a protein important for stabilisation of the muscle cell during a contraction. Without dystrophin, muscle cells are damaged and slowly replaced by fat and scar tis...
