Identification of muscle-specific calpain and beta-sarcoglycan genes in progressive autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies

J S Beckmann et al. Neuromuscul Disord. 1996 Dec.

Abstract

The autosomal recessive forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are encoded by at least five distinct genes. The work performed towards the identification of two of these is summarized in this report. This success illustrates the growing importance of genetics in modern nosology.
