Carbonic anhydrase III in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Plasma carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) levels determined by radioimmunoassay have been compared, in detail, with creatine kinase (CK) as indices of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). CAIII levels were markedly elevated in all patients but variability of levels in a number of individual patients was higher than CK.
