[Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy and related alpha-dystroglycanopathies].

Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo - 1 Oct 2008

Murakami Terumi, Nishino Ichizo

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) is a glycoprotein that binds to laminin in the basal lamina and helps provide mechanical support. A group of muscular dystrophies are caused by glycosylation defects of alpha-DG and are hence collectively called alpha-dystroglycanopathy (alpha-DGP). Alpha-DGP is clinically characterized by a combination of muscular dystrophies, structural brain anomalies, and ocular involvement. So...
