Abstract excerpt

Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) is an autosomal recessive severe muscular dystrophy in combination with cerebral cortical dysplasia. Previously, we identified the gene responsible for FCMD, termed fukutin, through positional cloning. In this study, we have sequenced 131892 bp of genomic DNA in the region of the fukutin gene on chromosome 9q31 and obtained its complete genomic structure. The...
