Cardiac complications of dystrophin deficiency in female carriers

/in ,

This NIH funding supports the work of Asuka Eguchi, Assistant Professor of Physiology and Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering, and a CIRC Affiliate, to gain an understanding of how mothers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients may be susceptible to cardiac complications. She will investigate how X-linked diseases can manifest differently in females depending on the makeup of healthy and diseased cells.
