Abstract excerpt
Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscular dystrophy that is often associated with cardiac disease. This disease is caused by mutations in several genes, among them DES (encoding desmin) is the most frequently affected. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 5 different MFM patients with different DES mutations were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC)...
