Sequential targeted exome sequencing of 1001 patients affected by unexplained limb-girdle weakness

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Several hundred genetic muscle diseases have been described, all of which are rare. Their clinical and genetic heterogeneity means that a genetic diagnosis is challenging. We established an international consortium, MYO-SEQ, to aid the work-ups of muscle disease patients and to better understand disease etiology. METHODS: Exome sequencing was applied to 1001 undiagnosed patients recruited from more than...
