Our studies indicate that comparison of the three hereditary myopathies in mice, dy and dy2J, and myd, may provide clues for the fact that "muscular dystrophy" of man defines a group of disorders having both similar and individual characteristics. We have previously suggested that multiple or pleiotropic gene effects as well as interaction of genes may occur not only in mice but also in man. In addition, more than one gene may control or influence pathways of muscle metabolism.
我们的研究表明，对小鼠中三种遗传性肌病（dy和dy2J以及myd）进行比较，可能会为以下事实提供线索：人类的“肌肉萎缩症”定义了一组具有相似和个体特征的疾病。我们之前曾提出，多效基因效应以及基因间的相互作用不仅可能在小鼠中出现，在人类中也可能出现。此外，可能不止一个基因控制或影响肌肉代谢途径。
