Whole-exome sequencing of two affected sibs and their mother who showed a unique quadriceps-dominant form of neurogenic muscular atrophy disclosed a heterozygous DYNC1H1 mutation [p.H306R (c.917A>G)]. The identical mutation was recently reported in a pedigree with the axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Three other missense mutations in DYNC1H1 were also identified in families with dominant spinal...
