Nat, The big big problem is to define precisely the molecular etiology of diverse forms of dysferlinopathies and their numberless regulation networks. ...
Dear Dyferliners, Dysferlinopathies seem to be, at least for instant, a recessive disorder. Such as the antisense/sense paradigm (suppression of pathological...
