Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify pathogenic mutant alleles of the PYGM gene in "genetic manifesting heterozygous" patients with McArdle disease-that is, those in whom we could only find a sole mutant allele by genomic DNA analysis. METHODS: We studied four unrelated patients. PCR-RFLP, gene sequencing, and muscle cDNA analysis were performed to search for mutations in the PYGM gene. The effects of the mutations were...
