ADSSL1 Myopathy is a rare muscular disorder caused by the defect of ADSSL1, a purine metabolic gene that codes for adenylosuccinate synthetase, which is a key enzyme for energy metabolism in the muscle. It has been hard to characterize on a genetic and molecular level due to a lack of adequate models for its study. We aim to recapitulate the symptoms of ADSSL1 Myopathy in Caenorhabditis elegans to establish it as a model for this disorder.
