BACKGROUND: Myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms define the three major muscle fiber types in human extremity muscles. Slow beta/cardiac MyHC (MYH7) is expressed in type 1 muscle fibers. MyHC IIa (MYH2) and MyHC IIx (MYH1) are expressed in type 2A and 2B fibers, respectively. Whereas recessive MyHC IIa myopathy has been described in many cases, myopathy caused by dominant MYH2 variants is rare and has been...
