Single skinned muscle fibers in Duchenne muscular dystrophy generate normal force.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The dose-response effects of dysferlin transgenesis were analyzed to determine if the dysferlin-deficient myopathies are good candidates for gene replacement therapy. METHODS:We have generated 3 lines of transgenic mice, expressing low, mid, and high levels of full-length human dysferlin from a muscle-specif...
