Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tubular aggregate myopathies (TAMs) are muscle disorders characterised by abnormal accumulations of densely packed single-walled or double-walled membrane tubules in muscle fibres. Recently, STIM1, encoding a major calcium sensor of the endoplasmic reticulum, was identified as a TAM gene. METHODS: The present study aims to define the clinical, histological and ultrastructural phenotype of tubular...
