The abnormal retinal electrophysiology observed in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has been attributed to an altered expression of C-terminal products of the dystrophin gene. It has been shown that Dp260 is expressed by photoreceptor cells, whereas Dp71 is present in glial cells. The present study was intended to identify all known members of the dystrophin superfamily and their associated proteins expressed in Müller glial cells (MGC).
