The need for a reliable and accurate method to quantify dystrophin proteins in human skeletal muscle biopsies has become crucial in order to assess the efficacy of dystrophin replacement therapies in Duchenne muscular dystrophy as well as to gain insight into the relationship between dystrophin levels and disease severity in Becker's muscular dystrophy.

Heart failure invariably affects patients with various forms of Muscular Dystrophy (MD), but the onset and molecular sequelae of altered structure and function resulting from full-length dystrophin (Dp427) deficiency in MD heart tissue are poorly understood.To better understand the role of dystrophin in cardiomyocyte development and the earliest phase of DMD cardiomyopathy, we studied human cardiomyocytes differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) obtained from the urine of a Deuchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patient.

To investigate this, we examined the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and calcium transients in cardiomyocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). hiPSCs were derived from a DMD patient (DMD-hiPSCs), in whom exon 44 of the gene encoding dystrophin was deleted, and from his parents (control-hiPSCs), who did not carry this mutation.
