## Abstract Myotonic dystrophy (MyD) has been suggested to be a segmental progeroid syndrome in man, as this syndrome has some clinical manifestations of premature aging. Fibroblasts from patients with other progeroid syndromes have been shown to have diminished in vitro lifespans or growth charact
Using the single-channel patch-clamp technique, Ca 2+activated K + channels of erythrocytes from patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy (MyD) were studied. Elementary single-channel propertiesconductance, rectification, kinetics, voltage-and calcium-dependencemeasured in inside-out patches of MyD
Active ion exchanges across erythrocyte membrane from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy were studied by two methods: --erythrocyte ghosts (Na+,K+)ATPase activity and its sensibility to ouabain, using an enzymatic method; --active sodium outflux and its sensibility to ouabain using a radioiso
## Communicated by Haig H. Kazazian Approximately two-thirds of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients show intragenic deletions ranging from one to several exons of the DMD gene and leading to a premature stop codon. Other deletions that maintain the translational reading frame of the gene re
