NIH and collaborators identify the genomic cause for Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome

Bethesda, Md., Mon., July 6 2017 - An international team of researchers has identified the genomic mutations for Carey-Fineman-Ziter (CFZS) syndrome, a very rare, inherited muscle disorder. Their findings provide insight into the development of an embryo's muscles and the regeneration of muscle cells after injury. The study was published today July 6, 2017 in Nature Communications.
