Abstract excerpt
Defects in O-mannosylation of alpha-dystroglycan cause some forms of congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD), the so-called alpha-dystroglycanopathies. Six genes are responsible for these diseases with overlapping phenotypes. We investigated the usefulness of a biochemical approach for the diagnosis and investigation of the alpha-dystroglycanopathies using immortalized lymphoblasts prepared from genetically diagnosed...
