Extending the analysis to a mouse model lacking the expression of laminin α2 chain (dy3K/dy3K), causative of the rare autosomal recessive disease congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A), they found a 2.6-fold reduction of α7B and CIB2 expression that could be partially restored by inducing the laminin α1 chain expression [3]. This evidence concerns the gene CIB2 and Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A.
