Duchenne muscular dystrophy describe the function of the gene and gene product as well as the phenotype (clinical picture). Explain how mutations in the gene and protein could contribute to the observed phenotype. Discuss the protein structures associated with the condition. How is it helpful in understanding gene’s function and in possible explaining of the pathology.
