Variants near CPED1 and WNT16 have been reported to have pleiotropic effects on LM and BMD in the pediatric population (17), and it has been reported that in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients, up-regulation of CPED1 by muscle-specific microRNAs improved skeletal muscle function (40). The gene discussed is CPED1; the disease is Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
