## Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to compare the respiratory function of patients with different clinical types of muscular dystrophy (MD). A total of 190 patients representing facioscapulohumeral MD (__n__ = 20), limbβgirdle MD (__n__ = 50), Becker MD (__n__ = 20), Duchenne MD (__n
## Abstract Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD), which affects 1/3500 live male births, involves a progressive degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscle, leading to early death. The protein dystrophin is lacking in DMD and present, but defective, in the allelic, less severe, Becker muscular dystr
## Abstract Previously, we reported the identification of a novel immunoglobulinβlike cell adhesion molecule hepaCAM that promotes cellβextracellular matrix (ECM) interactions including cell adhesion and motility. CellβECM interactions are known to be directed by the actin cytoskeleton. In this stu
