Several members of the TGFβ superfamily, including Myostatin, TGFβ1, and TGFβ2 have been implicated in the progression of different forms of muscular dystrophy (Yamazaki et al., 1994; Bogdanovich et al., 2002; Wagner et al., 2002; Andreetta et al., 2006; Onofre-Oliveira et al., 2012; Biressi et al., 2014). The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is muscular dystrophy.
