Knockout of human muscle genes revealed by large scale whole-exome studies.

Abstract excerpt

Large scale whole-exome sequence studies have revealed that a number of individuals from different populations have predicted loss-of-function of different genes due to nonsense, frameshift, or canonical splice-site mutations. Surprisingly, many of these mutations do not apparently show the deleterious phenotypic consequences expected from gene knockout. These homozygous null mutations, when confirmed, can...
