Muscular Dystrophy—Reason for Optimism?

چکیده
Characterization of the mechanisms underlying various types of muscular dystrophy has been an outstanding triumph of molecular biology. Increasing clarification of the aberrant cellular processes responsible for these conditions may ultimately permit the development of effective means for molecular intervention, allowing correction of the abnormal cellular physiology that results in the dystrophic phenotype.

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...

Background and Objective: Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) is a subtype of dystrophinopathies and designated as “mild form of dystrophinopathy”. The frequency rate of the disease is 1:18000 to 1:30000 in different populations and the symptoms are presented at about 8-9 years of age. The diagnostic panel composed of Serum Ceratin Kinase (SCK) measurement, Electromyography (EMG), and as a major...
