Deletion of exon 4 in LAMA2 is the most frequent mutation in Chinese patients with laminin α2-related muscular dystrophy

Abstract excerpt

Although recessive mutations in LAMA2 are already known to cause laminin α2-related muscular dystrophy, a rare neuromuscular disorder, large deletions or duplications within this gene are not well-characterized. In this study, we applied next-generation sequencing-based copy number variation profiling in 114 individuals clinically diagnosed with laminin α2-related muscular dystrophy, including 96 who harboured...
