Which treatment approaches are being investigated?

Several strategies are being explored: gene-based therapies (replacing, compensating or correcting for the faulty LAMA2 gene), protein replacement approaches (providing the missing laminin-alpha 2 protein), linker-protein therapies (specially designed proteins that compensate for the missing laminin alpha-2), anti-fibrosis strategies (reducing scarring in muscle tissue), and others.

Why is there currently no cure for LAMA2-RD? What research studies are currently underway? How long does it take to develop a new treatment? What are the stages of drug development? What is a natural history study? Why are natural history studies important? What is a patient registry? Why should I participate in a patient registry? Which universities and institutions are researching LAMA2-RD? Which companies are developing therapies? What are the biggest scientific challenges? What is gene therapy? What is CRISPR gene editing? What are stem cell therapies? What are antisense therapies?
