Abstract excerpt
Abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan (DG), a transmembrane glycoprotein, results in a group of diseases known as dystroglycanopathy. A severe dystroglycanopathy known as the limb girdle disease MDDGC9 [OMIM: 613818] occurs as a result of hypoglycosylation of alpha subunit of DG. Reasons behind this has been traced back to a point mutation (T192M) in DG that leads to weakening of interactions of DG protein with...
