Determining the prevalence of McArdle disease from gene frequency by analysis of next-generation sequencing data.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: McArdle disease is one of the most common glycogen storage disorders. Although the exact prevalence is not known, it has been estimated to be 1 in 100,000 patients in the United States. More than 100 mutations in PYGM have been associated with this disorder. McArdle disease has significant clinical variability: Some patients present with severe muscle pain and weakness; others have only mild,...
