Autophagy defects have been described in DMD, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophies (UCMD) and Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophies (EDMD) [20,30], while autophagy hyperactivation was observed in merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy [49]. The gene discussed is LAMA2; the disease is congenital muscular dystrophy.
