Both acquired and inherited disorders of muscle are common; thus, greater understanding of
muscle growth and maintenance is important for future therapies. Myostatin down-regulates
muscle growth. These investigators describe a mutation in the gene for myostatin in a child
with muscle hypertrophy and unusual strength.
