Abstract excerpt
Dystroglycanopathies are a genetically heterogeneous subset of congenital muscular dystrophies that exhibit autosomal recessive inheritance and are characterized by abnormal glycosylation of α-dystroglycan. In particular, POMT2 (protein O-mannosyltransferase-2) mutations have been identified in congenital muscular dystrophy patients with a wide range of clinical involvement, ranging from the severe...
