Only one case showed distinctly reduced expression of the laminin α2 chain, and he also showed motor dysfunction typical of FCMD and relatively mild mental impairment. The brain MRI findings were similar to those in typical FCMD cases and completely different from reported merosin-negative congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) cases. Haplotype analysis at the 9q31 region revealed he showed heterozygosity with the unique and the ancestral haplotypes. It is possible that mutation of the FCMD gene may have a secondary effect on expression of laminin α2 chain.}, pages = {E23--E31}, title = {福山型筋ジストロフィー(FCMD)骨格筋におけるlaminin α2 chainの検討(<特集>小児科学教室大澤真木子教授開講5周年記念)}, volume = {70}, year = {2000} }
