Quantitative Proteomic Analysis Reveals Metabolic Alterations, Calcium Dysregulation, and Increased Expression of Extracellular Matrix Proteins in Laminin α2 Chain–deficient Muscle

Abstract excerpt

Congenital muscular dystrophy with laminin α2 chain deficiency (MDC1A) is one of the most severe forms of muscular disease and is characterized by severe muscle weakness and delayed motor milestones. The genetic basis of MDC1A is well known, yet the secondary mechanisms ultimately leading to muscle degeneration and subsequent connective tissue infiltration are not fully understood. In order to obtain new insights...
