Evidence for ACTN3 as a genetic modifier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Evidence for ACTN3 as a genetic modifier of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a disease caused by a single gene, characterized by progressive muscle weakness, but is variable between patients partly due to interactions of other genes. Here, the authors show that a commonACTN3polymorphism can modify the clinical phenotype.
