Circadian Genes as Exploratory Biomarkers in DMD: Results From Both the mdx Mouse Model and Patients

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic disease due to dystrophin gene mutations which cause progressive weakness and muscle wasting. Circadian rhythm coordinates biological processes with the 24-h cycle and it plays a key role in maintaining muscle functions, both in animal models and i...
