Analysis of Research in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
[ send me this paper ]
A 29 page paper discussing current research in LGMD, much of which has moved beyond the realm of theory and elementary discovery into that area that enables researchers to create accurate and workable
syntheses of mechanisms and pathways that exist.

A review of current research and normal function does provide insight into the reasons for researchers' thinly veiled glee over the rapidity of emerging facts that can be translated into clinical results, including the advent of the first clinical trials for gene therapy.
