Metabolic dysregulation contributes to the development of dysferlinopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Dysferlin is a transmembrane protein that plays a prominent role in membrane repair of damaged muscle fibers. Accordingly, mutations in the dysferlin gene cause progressive muscular dystrophies, collectively referred to as dysferlinopathies for which no effective treatment exists. Unexpectedly, experimental approaches that successfully restore membrane repair fail to prevent a dystrophic phenotype, suggesting...
