Abstract excerpt
Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders. In addition to genetic information, a combination of various approaches such as the use of genetic animal models, muscle cell biology, and biochemistry has contributed to improving the understanding of the molecular basis of muscular dystrophy's etiology. Several lines of evidence confirm that the structural linkage between the muscle...
