TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that a mutation in the gene encoding the 35-kilodalton dystrophin-associated glycoprotein, γ-sarcoglycan, is likely to be the primary genetic defect in this disorder.

TL;DR: The evolution of the concept of sarcoglycanopathy separate from that of dystrophinopathy is explained by comparing studies on these diseases.

TL;DR: In this review, the possible roles of laminin, DAPs and dystrophin in each dystrophy are explained.

TL;DR: It is found that the purified dystrophin-DAP complex was dissociated into several groups by n-octyl-beta-D-glucoside treatment, and it is concluded that A3b is a novel DAP different from 43DAG.
