Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1), myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7), and selenoprotein N1 (SEPN1) mutations are associated with core myopathies. RYR1 mutations cause most cases of central core disease (CCD). METHODS: We screened 8 Chinese patients with clinicopathological diagnosis of CCD. Genetic analysis was carried out by targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify causative genes. Variants were...
