Defining the role of glycosylation in basement membrane failure during muscular dystrophy [ 2017 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Peter Currie (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Nicolle Packer

Brief description This project aims to utilize mutations within the zebrafish fkrp gene to understand the pathogenic basis of the human diseases associated with mutation of this gene which results in a spectrum of muscular dystrophies. By generating models of alleles that represent the range of phenotypes seen in humans we will have a directly translatable model system to human pathology.
