Gene-Corrected Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes and Skeletal Muscles Reveal Partial Dystrophin Dp427 Preservation and Cardiac Dp116 Expression in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patient With a Splice-Site Mutation in Intron 68 (c.9975-1G>T).
BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene, leading to the absence or dysfunction of dystrophin. Although cardiac and skeletal muscles are both affected, tissue-specific differences in disease manifestation and dystrophin regulation remain...
