Identification of a novel heterozygous DYSF variant in a large family with a dominantly‐inherited dysferlinopathy

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Dysferlinopathy is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, caused by bi-allelic variants in the gene encoding dysferlin (DYSF). Onset typically occurs in the second to third decade and is characterised by slowly progressive skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy of the proximal and/or distal muscles of the four limbs.
