Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in protein-O-mannose-beta1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (POMGnT1) have been found in muscle-eye-brain disease, a congenital muscular dystrophy with structural eye and brain defects and severe mental retardation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether mutations in POMGnT1 could be responsible for milder allelic variants of muscular dystrophy. DESIGN: Screening for mutations in POMGnT1....
