Dystroglycan induced muscular dystrophies - a review.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences - 1 Sept 2016

Zhang Q-Z

Abstract excerpt

Dystroglycanopathies are muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in genes involved the in O-linked glycosylation of α-dystroglycan. Severe forms of these conditions result in abnormalities in exhibit brain and ocular developmental too, in addition to muscular dystrophy. The full spectrum of developmental pathology is caused mainly by loss of dystroglycan from Bergmann glia. Moreover, cognitive deficits are...
