Dystrophin is a cytoskeletal protein mainly found just beneath the sarcolemma. Lack of dystrophin is known to be the cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Other tissues, including the brain, retina, and cochlear hair cells, also express dystrophin. Recently, a gene (Xp21.2) associated with sensorineural hearing impairment has been mapped within the localization site for dystrophin in two families. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that dystrophin may play a role in auditory function. However, animal studies have produced conflicting results.
