Abstract excerpt
FHL1 mutations cause several clinically heterogeneous myopathies, including reducing body myopathy (RBM), scapuloperoneal myopathy (SPM) and X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy (XMPMA). The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of FHL1 myopathies are unknown. Protein aggregates, designated 'reducing bodies', that contain mutant FHL1 are detected in RBM muscle but not in several other FHL1...
