23 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Dysferlinopathies are a group of muscular dystrophies caused by recessive mutations in the DYSF gene encoding the dysferlin protein. Dysferlin is a transmembrane protein involved in several muscle functions like T-tubule maintenance and membrane repair. In 2009, a study showed the existence of fourteen dysferlin transcripts generated from alternative splicing. We were interested in dysferlin transcripts...
