Decrease of lactoferrin concentration in the tears of myotonic muscular dystrophy patients.
    Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry, 1983, Oct-31, Volume: 134, Issue:1-2

    Tears from myotonic muscular dystrophy (MMD) patients and normal controls were analyzed for their tear proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Lactoferrin comprised about 18% of the total tear protein in MMD patients as opposed to about 27% in normals. The albumin content relative to total protein in MMD tears was about 25% while the same value for normals is 13%. The lactoferrin/albumin ratio, was about 0.8 for MMD patients and about 2.1 for normals.
