Mutations causing DOK7 congenital myasthenia ablate functional motifs in Dok-7.

Mutations causing DOK7 congenital myasthenia ablate functional motifs in Dok-7.

Dok-7 is a cytoplasmic activator of muscle-specific receptor-tyrosine kinase (MuSK). Both Dok-7 and MuSK are required for neuromuscular synaptogenesis. Mutations in DOK7 underlie a congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) associated with small and simplified neuromuscular synapses likely due to impaired...
