Newly discovered gene related with muscular dystrophy
French researchers have found that one with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy associated with the important gene, which will help to develop new therapies to treat this disease. qpmnbgiju]
A French research team recently passed mice found that if a file named FAT1 gene excision, mouse facial muscles and shoulder muscles will be local growth is not normal, premature adult muscles will atrophy. Furthermore, the gene was excised mice also exhibit abnormal retinal vascular abnormalities and inner ear. These symptoms and human suffering facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy symptoms are very similar. estrogen elisa kit
Depth study researchers found that surface scapular humeral muscular dystrophy patients in the fetal stage FAT1 degree of gene expression was significantly lower than normal, after the birth of this gene mutation probability is higher than normal.
The researchers noted, FAT1 gene causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy multiple gene plays an important role in both mechanisms can be developed for this gene a new method to treat this disease.
