Abstract excerpt
We report molecular genetic analysis of 11 Japanese patients with myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle's disease). Four reported mutations, frequently observed in patients with McArdle's disease, in exons 1, 5, 14 and 17 were investigated. Seven patients out of 11 were homozygous for a single-codon deletion at codon 708/709 in exon 17 and one patient was heterozygous for a single-codon deletion with an unknown...
