  • Title: [Blood myoglobin in children with progressive muscular dystrophy and in carriers].
    Author: Calandi C, Baretti S, Pacciani G, Bagni P, Borsotti M, Tozzi P, Adami Lami C.
    Journal: Quad Sclavo Diagn; 1984 Dec; 20(4):391-8. PubMed ID: 6537549.
    Abstract:
    We studied the behaviour of serum myoglobin in 32 children affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in 30 mothers (10 definite carriers and 20 possible carriers), in 5 sisters (possible carriers) and in 40 healthy women (control). The serum myoglobin was always increased in the patients affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy; the greatest values were in the patients who were still ambulant, with a behaviour similar to creatine kinase. In the carriers the myoglobinemia showed a significant increase in definite carriers, while there was no significant difference between the possible carriers and the controls.
