Novel Desmin Mutation Causing Myofibrillar Myopathy in a Hmong Family
Myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of inherited myopathies characterized by aggregation of Z-disc proteins. Mutations in desmin account for ~7% of MFM. We report here a Hmong family with an autosomal dominant MFM caused by a novel variant in the desmin...
