Abstract excerpt
The dystrophia muscularis dy2J/dy2J mouse is an animal model for one form of human congenital muscular dystrophy. A point mutation in the gene coding for the laminin-2 alpha 2 chain leads to the expression of a truncated, partially functional protein. We developed a simple assay for the detection of the dy2J allele, which contains a new NdeI restriction site. Genomic DNA was prepared from animals of known status...
