Duchenne's muscular dystrophy: studies in cultured fibroblasts.
Fibroblast cell-lines derived from four patients with clinically confirmed Duchenne's muscular dystrophy were examined by Duchenne's muscular dystrophy were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Cell-lines from patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy could be distinguished from normal cell-lines by the presence of characteristic inclusion bodies.
