Molecular genetic study of myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle's disease) in two Yemenite-Jewish families.

Abstract excerpt

Using direct sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, we identified two novel mutations in two unrelated Yemenite-Jewish families with typical symptoms of McArdle's disease. In one family, both father and daughter were affected, an example of pseudo-dominant transmission. The daughter was a compound heterozygote for a new nonsense mutation (R207X) and a new missense mutation (R602Q) while...
