Restriction of Calpain3 Expression to the Skeletal Muscle Prevents Cardiac Toxicity and Corrects Pathology in a Murine Model of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
2 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic defects in calpain3 (CAPN3) lead to limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A, a disease of the skeletal muscle that affects predominantly the proximal limb muscles. We previously demonstrated the potential of adeno-associated virus-mediated transfer of the CAPN3 gene to correct the pathological signs in a murine model for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A after intramuscular and...
