Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
12100448 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
16084089 DNA analysis can be used to provide accurate prenatal diagnosis of thecongenital muscular dystrophy, and have an essential role in genetic counseling.
11584042 case series and review of laminin alpha2(merosin) deficiency phenotypes and abnormalities
16504180 suggest that LNalpha1 chain in part ameliorates the development of LNalpha2 chain deficient muscular dystrophy by retaining the binding sites for integrin alpha7Bbeta1D and alpha-dystroglycan, respectively
11938437 A number of mutations are identified in association with congenital muscular dystrophies.
12609502 However, dy(W)/dy(W) mice, expressing the human laminin alpha2 under the control of the striated muscle-specific portion of the desmin promoter, still developed muscular dystrophy.
16226104 A relocalization of LAMA2 was noted in the subepithelial basement membrane in a group of Hirschsprung patients.
12552556 In nine congenital muscular dystrophy patients with abnormal white-matter signal at brain MRI and partial deficiency of muscle laminin alpha 2, three novel missense and two splice-site mutations were found.
16216942 identified 9 new LAMA 2 mutations
15452315 A mild case of autosomal recessive congenital muscular dystrophy is associated with a homozygous out-of-frame deletion in exon 56 of the LAMA2 gene.
