Genome sequencing identified a novel FLNC gene variant causing distal myopathy (DM) in a family misdiagnosed with hereditary neuropathies. This discovery expands understanding of FLNC-related muscle disorders.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Neuromuscular Disorders
- Molecular Biology
Background:
- Distal myopathies (DM) are heterogeneous neuromuscular disorders with challenging genetic diagnosis.
- Overlapping symptoms can lead to misdiagnosis as hereditary neuropathies, like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
