A new missense variant in RAB3GAP2 in a family with muscular dystrophy-short stature and defective autophagy: An expansion of the micro/Martsolf spectrum or a new phenotype?

Abstract excerpt

We describe a sibling pair of Mennonite origin born from consanguineous parentage with a likely new phenotype of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, short stature, ptosis, and tracheomalacia. Exome sequencing in the affected subjects identified a novel homozygous RAB3GAP2 missense variant as the potential causal variant. As RAB3GAP2 has been recently shown to be involved in the autophagy process, we analyzed...
