A novel mutation in the DYSF gene in a patient with a presumed inflammatory myopathy

Abstract excerpt

Dysferlinopathy, a progressive muscular dystrophy, results from mutations in the Dysferlin gene (DYSF, MIM*603009). Traditional diagnosis relies on the reduction or absence of dysferlin. However, altered dysferlin has been observed in other myopathies, leading to a precise diagnosis through molecular genetics. In this study, we report a patient who was previously misdiagnosed as inflammatory myopathy based on...
