Bi-allelic loss-of-function OBSCN variants predispose individuals to severe recurrent rhabdomyolysis

Abstract excerpt

Rhabdomyolysis is the acute breakdown of skeletal myofibres in response to an initiating factor, most commonly toxins and over exertion. A variety of genetic disorders predispose to rhabdomyolysis through different pathogenic mechanisms, particularly in patients with recurrent episodes.
