Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare myopathy caused by polyalanine triplet repeat expansion in the gene for poly(A) binding protein 2 (PABP2) and is found in isolated cohorts throughout the world. We have observed numerous cases of OPMD in New Mexico. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the clinical, genetic, and demographic features of the OPMD population in New Mexico. DESIGN, SETTING, AND...
