Treatment
Mechanistic aspects of the formation of α-dystroglycan and therapeutic research for the treatment of α-dystroglycanopathy: A review. Mol Aspects Med. 2016 Oct;51:115-24. doi: 10.1016/j.mam.2016.07.003. Epub 2016 Jul 12. Review. [medlineplus.gov]
Prevention
Mutations in the genes associated with Walker-Warburg syndrome prevent glycosylation of α-dystroglycan, which disrupts its normal function. [medlineplus.gov]
