Dysferlin deficiency modulates the proximal-distal muscle transcriptome

By comparing the transcriptome from proximal (quadriceps femoris, QF) and distal (tibialis anterior, TA)muscle groups in dysferlin deficient mouse muscle (the SJL mutation bred onto C57BL/10 to produces C57BL/10-SJL.Dysf) with proximal and distal muscle groups from control C57BL/10 mice of an equivalent age (3-weeks old, prior to the onset of overt pathology) we aim to address the issues of muscle selectivity in this this form of muscular dystrophy.
