Substitution of a conserved cysteine-996 in a cysteine-rich motif of the laminin alpha2-chain in congenital muscular dystrophy with partial deficiency of the protein.

Nissinen, M., Helbling-Leclerc, A., Zhang, X., Evangelista, T., Topaloglu, H., Cruaud, C., ...

Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are autosomal recessive muscle disorders of early onset. Approximately half of CMD patients present laminin alpha2-chain (merosin) deficiency in muscle...

PCR based mutation screening of the laminin alpha2 chain gene (LAMA2): application to prenatal diagnosis and search for founder effects in congenital muscular dystrophy.

Guicheney, P, Vignier, N, Zhang, X, He, Y, Cruaud, C, Frey, V, ...

Classical congenital muscular dystrophy with merosin deficiency is caused by mutations in the laminin alpha2 chain gene (LAMA2). Extended sequencing of the introns flanking the 64 LAMA2 exons was...
