Abstract excerpt
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is an inherited neuromuscular disease associated with a short trinucleotide repeat expansion in Exon 1 of the PABPN1 gene. OPMD is uncommon in East Asian populations, and there have been no previous reports of Thai patients. We studied clinical and molecular genetic features of six unrelated Thai patients with autosomal dominant OPMD. All patients had expansions of the...
