Elimination of fukutin reveals cellular and molecular pathomechanisms in muscular dystrophy-associated heart failure

Mutations in Ftkn cause Fukuyama muscular dystrophy, and heart failure is the main cause of death in thes patients. Here the authors show that acute elimination of Fktn in adult mice causes early mortality, and this is associated with myocyte dysfunction, with disorganised Golg-microtubule networks,...
