Funded Activity Summary

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.
