ILK depletion in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster leads to muscle detachment of focal adhesion sites (Alessi et al., 1997; Gheyara et al., 2007; Mackinnon et al., 2002; Zervas et al., 2001), while ILK KO mice presented severe muscular dystrophy and actin cytoskeleton restructuring and displacements of focal adhesion‐related proteins, such as dystrophin and FAK (Boccafoschi et al., 2011; Hodges et al., 1997; Gheyara et al., 2007). Here, ILK is linked to muscular dystrophy.
