Duchenne's muscular dystrophy: review and recent scientific findings
Am J Med Sci.
1991 Aug.
Abstract
In this brief review, we describe the clinical manifestations of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) and other similar syndromes, outline the history of the dystrophin gene's identification and its relationship to these muscular dystrophies, and relate the importance of the gene's discovery to clinical neurology. We do not discuss treatment.
