Brief description Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the body and dynamically capable of responding to many environmental stresses. A key cellular process that has developed in muscle to facilitate adaptive responses is autophagy, a mechanism that facilitates the degradation and recycling of cellular debris. Defects in autophagy cause muscle disease. In this study we will identify a novel gene that regulates autophagy and will investigate how mutations in this gene cause muscle disease.
