Generation of a novel Dysferlin microdeletion knock-in mouse model mimicking muscular dystrophy-like pathology.

Abstract excerpt

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type R2 (LGMD-R2) is caused by mutations in the DYSFERLIN (DYSF) gene, leading to progressive muscle weakness and defective membrane repair. In our previous study, we identified a novel five-nucleotide microdeletion in DYSF (c.3014_3018delACCAG; NM_001130455.2) in Taiwanese LGMD patients, which is predicted to cause a frameshift and premature termination, potentially producing a...
