Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM) is a rare adult-onset neuromuscular disease, associated with CGG repeat expansions in the 5' untranslated region of LRP12, GIPC1, NOTCH2NLC and RILPL1. However, the genetic cause of a proportion of pathoclinically confirmed cases remains unknown. METHODS: A total of 26 OPDM patients with unknown genetic cause(s) from 4 tertiary referral hospitals were included in...
