ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	spontaneously occurring genomic deletion in murine Chkb results in neonatal bone deformity and hindlimb muscular dystrophy
	loss-of-function mutation in the murine ortholog, Chkb, is reported to cause rostrocaudal muscular dystrophy (rmd), with abnormal mitochondrial morphology in rmd skeletal muscles that reflects altered phosphatidylcholine content in mitochondrial membranes, and selective autophagic elimination of mitochondria
