Cardiac and skeletal striated muscles are intricately designed machines responsible for
muscle contraction. Coordination of the basic contractile unit, the sarcomere, and the …

The dystrophin–glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a multisubunit complex that connects the
cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber to its surrounding extracellular matrix. Mutations in the DGC …

The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are a genetically heterogeneous group of inherited
progressive muscle disorders that affect mainly the proximal musculature, with evidence for …

Severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (SCARMD) is a progressive
muscle-wasting disorder common in North Africa that segregates with microsatellite markers …

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D (LGMD 2D) is an autosomal recessive disorder
caused by mutations in the α-sarcoglycan gene. To determine how α-sarcoglycan deficiency …

Abstract β–sarcoglycan, a 43 kDa dystrophin–associated glycoprotein, is an integral
component of the dystrophin–glycoprotein complex. We have cloned human β–sarcoglycan …

The dystrophin associated proteins (DAPs) are good candidates for harboring primary
mutations in the genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies …

Монография посвящена современным возможностям ДНК-диагностики и основанного
на ней медико-генетического консультирования при наследственных заболеваниях …

Background Some patients with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy have
mutations in the genes coding for the sarcoglycan proteins (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-sarcoglycan). To …

Chromatin remodeling is a major event that occurs during mammalian spermiogenesis, the
process of spermatid maturation into spermatozoa. Nuclear condensation during …
