IDENTIFICATION OF A ZEBRAFISH MODEL OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

Abstract excerpt

1. Large-scale mutagenic screens of the zebrafish genome have identified a number of different classes of mutations that disrupt skeletal muscle formation. Of particular interest and relevance to human health is a class of recessive lethal mutations in which muscle differentiation occurs normally, but is followed by tissue-specific degeneration reminiscent of human muscular dystrophies. 2. We have shown that one...
