Abstract excerpt
Four types of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) are known to be caused by mutations in distinct sarcoglycan genes. The BIO 14.6 hamster is a model for sarcoglycan-deficient LGMD with a deletion in the delta-sarcoglycan (delta-SG) gene. We investigated the function of the sarcoglycan complex and the feasibility of sarcoglycan gene transfer for LGMD using a recombinant delta-SG adenovirus in the BIO 14.6...
