The origin of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex(DGC)-related muscular dystrophies: the need for protection against an ancestral pathogen?

The Italian journal of biochemistry - 1 Jun 2003

Brancaccio Andrea

Abstract excerpt

Because of its crucial role during the early stages of morphogenesis, no genetic defects associated to dystroglycan have been reported so far. Dystroglycan is an important member of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) and in several muscular dystrophies, depending on abnormalities of proteins belonging to or associated with the DGC, it is frequently observed a significant reduction of dystroglycan levels at...
