Portland - Oregon Health Sciences University

Linda Musil, Ph.D.
(RG) Connexin-32 defects in X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX) disease
$  60,000.00	1/1/00 - 12/31/00	Year 2

Summary: Researchers will investigate how mutations in connexin-32 perturb the protein's ability to form gap junctional channels and result in CMTX.

Bruce Patton, Ph.D.
(RG) Laminins in congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD)
$  60,040.00	1/1/00 - 12/31/00	Year 1
$  62,398.00	1/1/01 - 12/31/01	Year 2
$  64,850.00	1/1/02 - 12/31/02	Year 3

Summary: CMD is often due to genetic deficiency for laminin-a2, also called merosin. Researchers hope to show other, related proteins that could replace the defective laminin-a2.
