Abstract excerpt
Central Core Disease (CCD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterized by the presence of cores in muscle biopsy. CCD is caused by mutations in the RYR1 gene. This gene encodes the ryanodine receptor 1, which is an intracellular calcium release channel from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol in response to depolarization of the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are also associated with...
