Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the changes of creatine kinase MM (CK-MM) isoforms in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. METHODS:Serum samples from 49 DMD patients and 40 control subjects were collected for CK-MM isoforms measurement. CK-MM isoforms were separated within 30 minutes by electrophoresis on agarose gel with a discontinuous buffer system at constant current of 30 mA and low voltage of 200-300 V, then measured by fluorescence scanning. RESULTS:Significant differences of MM2/MM1 ratio were found between DMD patients and control subjects (P < 0.05) as well as among the three different age groups of DMD patients (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:CK-MM isoforms may present useful information for the early diagnosis and evaluation of DMD and the ratio of MM2/MM1 can be considered as a specific indicator of the degree of seriousness for DMD patients.
