Prevention of cardiomyopathy in -sarcoglycan knockout mice after systemic transfer of targeted adeno-associated viral vectors
13 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Delta-sarcoglycan is a member of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Similar to patients with defects in the gene encoding delta-sarcoglycan (Sgcd), knockout mice develop cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy. The aim of our study was to develop an approach for preventing cardiomyopathy in Sgcd-deficient mice by cardiac expression of the...
