Division of Cardiology, Tsubame Rosai Hospital, Niigata, Japan.

A 47-year-old woman whose elder son had typical Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) was diagnosed as the manifesting carrier of the disease. She had developed congestive heart failure but had no evidence of skeletal muscular atrophy. Histological observation of the cardiac muscle revealed a mosaic pattern of dystrophin negative fibres detected by immunofluorescence analysis.

D009136 Muscular Dystrophies A heterogeneous group of inherited MYOPATHIES, characterized by wasting and weakness of the SKELETAL MUSCLE.

D002303 Cardiac Output, Low A state of subnormal or depressed cardiac output at rest or during stress. It is a characteristic of CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, including congenital, valvular, rheumatic, hypertensive, coronary, and cardiomyopathic. The serious form of low cardiac output is characterized by marked reduction in STROKE VOLUME, and systemic vasoconstriction resulting in cold, pale, and sometimes cyanotic extremities.

D016189 Dystrophin A muscle protein localized in surface membranes which is the product of the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy gene. Individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually lack dystrophin completely while those with Becker muscular dystrophy have dystrophin of an altered size. It shares features with other cytoskeletal proteins such as SPECTRIN and alpha-actinin but the precise function of dystrophin is not clear. One possible role might be to preserve the integrity and alignment of the plasma membrane to the myofibrils during muscle contraction and relaxation. MW 400 kDa.
