Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Filamin myopathy is a neuromuscular disorder manifesting with predominantly limb-girdle muscle weakness and in many patients with diaphragm paralysis and cardiomyopathy, caused by mutations in the filamin C (FLNC) gene. Molecular diagnosis of filamin myopathy based on direct DNA sequencing of coding exons is compromised by the presence of a high homology pseudogene (pseFLNC) located approximately 53.6...
