Abstract excerpt
Genetic defects of myophosphorylase in humans cause a metabolic myopathy (McArdle's disease) characterized by exercise intolerance, cramps, and recurrent myoglobinuria. Recently, a breed of cattle with myophosphorylase deficiency has been identified: this is the first animal model of McArdle's disease. To define the molecular genetic error in the cattle, we cloned and sequenced the wild-type bovine...
