先天性肌营养不良症(CMD)是一组高度异质性的神经肌肉疾病。一个亚组显示细胞外基质的蛋白质,层粘连蛋白-2(merosin)的α 2链的特异性缺陷。在表现为严重表型和白色物质改变的患者中,已经鉴定出编码该蛋白的基因中的许多突变。
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a highly heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders. A subgroup displays a specific deficiency in a protein of the extracellular matrix, the alpha2 chain of laminin-2 (merosin). A number of mutations in the gene encoding this protein have been identified in patients who present with a severe phenotype and white matter changes.
