Dysferlinopathy refers to autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in dysferlin gene (DYSF). It includes two major distinct disorders, Miyoshi myopathy and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B. Twenty-three Korean patients were recruited. Full sequence analysis of DYSF detected 10 novel and 9 known mutations. The p.Gln832X showed the highest allele frequency (10/46) as a unique recurrent...
