Should not change clinical practice in RYR1 disorders; hypothesis-generating for Ca2+-dependent muscle development.
The absence of RYR1-mediated Ca2+ signaling during embryogenesis leads to significant transcriptional dysregulation of genes involved in skeletal muscle development and structure.
Filipova et al. (2016) studied RYR1 deficiency (dyspedic mouse model) (n=8). RYR1 knockout (dyspedic mutation) vs. Heterozygous control littermates was evaluated on Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in limb skeletal muscle. Absence of the RYR1 Ca2+ release channel in dyspedic mouse embryos resulted in 318 differentially expressed genes in skeletal muscle, affecting major signaling pathways and muscle development.
