Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe striated muscle disease due to the absence of dystrophin. Dystrophin deficiency results in dysfunctional sodium channels and conduction abnormalities in hearts of mdx mice. Disease progression in the mdx mouse only modestly reflects that of DMD patients, possibly due to utrophin up-regulation. Here, we investigated mice deficient in both dystrophin and utrophin [double knockout (DKO)] to assess the role of utrophin in the regulation of the cardiac sodium channel (Na(v)1.5) in mdx mice.
