Abstract excerpt

Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), the second most common form of muscular dystrophy in Japan, is an autosomal recessive severe muscular dystrophy associated with brain anomalies. After our initial mapping of the FCMD locus to chromosome 9q31-33, we have further defined the locus...
