Dystrophin, 1989

 File

Scope and Contents

Research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD has moved rapidly from analysis of DNA to studies of the function of the protein, named dystrophin, in muscle, brain, and other tissues.This Dystrophin meeting drew together research workers from all over the world to discuss, and in some cases to attempt to reconcile, the latest results. It is a remarkable comment on the rapid progress made possible by recombinant DNA techniques that a session could be devoted to discussing therapeutic strategies for affected boys.
