Low dystrophin variability between muscles and stable expression over time in Becker muscular dystrophy using capillary Western immunoassay
Abstract Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is the milder allelic variant of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with higher dystrophin levels. To anticipate on results of interventions targeting dystrophin expression it is important to know the natural variation of dystrophin expression between different mus...
