Abstract excerpt
The myodystrophy (Large(myd)) mouse has a spontaneous loss of function mutation in a putative glycosyltransferase gene (Large). Mutations in the human gene (LARGE) have been described in congenital muscular dystrophy type 1D (MDC1D). Mutations in four other genes that encode known or putative glycosylation enzymes (POMT1, POMGnT1, fukutin and FKRP) are also associated with muscular dystrophy. In all these...
