The eDystrophin database compliments two other databases of DMD human mutations: the Leiden Muscular Dystrophy database and the UMD-DMD French database. The eDystrophin database is specifically dedicated to providing information about in-frame mutations (deletions, duplications and substitutions) of the DMD gene and the consequences of these alterations from a clinical perspective and a protein structure perspective.
The database is user friendly and informative and should be a source of much needed information for researchers, parents and patients alike.
