Abstract excerpt
Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) with deficiency of endplate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are caused by mutations in the synapse specific collagenic tail subunit gene (COLQ) of AChE. We identified a novel missense mutation (T441A) homozygously in three CMS patients from two unrelated German families. The mutation is located in the C-terminal region of the ColQ protein, which initiates assembly of the triple...
