Cardiac and skeletal myopathies: can genotype explain phenotype?

Abstract excerpt

The inherited muscle diseases, skeletal muscle nemaline myopathy and cardiac muscle hypertrophic myopathy (HCM) have been recognised for decades. Recently it has become apparent that mutations in almost any protein component of the sarcomere could cause myopathy. Thus changes in many sarcomeric protein genes can produce a common phenotype. Several recent publications indicate the opposite property: mutations in...
