Six genes including POMT1, POMT2, POMGNTI, FKRP, Fukutin (FKTN) and LARGE encode proteins involved in the glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG). Abnormal glycosylation of alpha-DG is a common finding in Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), muscle-eye brain disease (MEB), Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), congenital muscular dystrophy types 1C and ID and some forms of autosomal ...
