Scientists shed light on root cause of muscular dystrophy subtype

University of Manchester scientists have mapped the mutations in the tiny protein chains that cause a subtype of muscular dystrophy. Published in the journal Nature Communications, the study provides a major insight into the muscular dystrophy subtype known collectively as Collagen VI-related dystrophy—or COL6-RD for short.
