The Molecular Basis of Muscular Dystrophy in the mdx Mouse: a Point Mutation

Sicinski, Piotr, Geng, Yan, Ryder-Cook, Allan S., Barnard, Eric A., Darlison, Mark G., Barnard, Pene J.·1989·Science

Abstract

The mdx mouse is an X-linked myopathic mutant, an animal model for human Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In both mouse and man the mutations lie within the dystrophin gene, but the phenotypic differences of the disease in the two species confer much interest on the molecular basis of the mdx mutation. The complementary DNA for mouse dystrophin has been cloned, and the sequence has been used in the polymerase chain reaction to amplify normal and mdx dystrophin transcripts in the area of the mdx mutation. Sequence analysis of the amplification products showed that the mdx mouse has a single base substitution within an exon, which causes premature termination of the polypeptide chain.

  • The mdx mouse model of DMD shows impairment of memory consolidation in certain behavior tasks.

    “The animal model of DMD, the mdx mouse, showed impairment of memory consolidation in certain behavior tasks (Sicinski et al., 1989;Muntoni et al., 1991;Vaillend et al., 1995;Vaillend et al., 2004)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
