Abstract excerpt
Forty-two missense, truncation, or splice-site mutations of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunit genes have been reported to date in patients with congenital myasthenic syndromes. Here we report a homozygous mutation, epsilon-155G --> A, in the promoter region of the AChR epsilon subunit gene that converts the Ets-binding site of the promoter region from CGGAA to CAGAA. The asymptomatic parents and brother...
