Human patients harboring FER1L1 (FER-1-like 1, dysferlin) mutations manifest one of two autosomal recessive forms of muscular dystrophy - limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Myoshi myopathy [16], due to the inability of skeletal muscle fiber sarcolemma to repair damaged muscle cells during the normal course of biomechanical wear and tear [17]–[19]. Here, DYSF is linked to muscular dystrophy.
