Abstract excerpt
Central core disease (CCD) is an autosomal-dominant human congenital myopathy that is associated with at least 22 different mutations in the skeletal muscle isoform of ryanodine receptor (RyR1). CCD mutations in RyR1 have been proposed to lead to the formation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release channels that are excessively leaky to Ca(2+). Although some of the CCD mutations in RyR1 may indeed result...
