Abstract excerpt
Brody disease is a rare inherited disorder of fast-twitch skeletal muscle function and is characterized by a lifelong history of exercise-induced impairment of skeletal muscle relaxation, stiffness, and cramps. The autosomal recessive inheritance of mutations in ATP2A1, the gene encoding SERCA1, which is the fast-twitch skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase, has been associated with Brody disease in...
