Disease_model_descriptionDystrophin is the product of the gene that is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a progressive neuromuscular disease; double mutant worms in dys-1 and hlh-1 displayed impaired locomotion and egg laying (phenotypes not seen in the single mutants) and extensive muscle degeneration; when overexpressed, the dyc-1 gene (shares similarities with the mammalian neural nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-binding protein CAPON) partially suppressed the dys-1; hlh-1 phenotype.
