Rare<i>ACTN2</i>Frameshift Variants Resulting in Protein Extension Cause Distal Myopathy and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy through Protein Aggregation

2024-01-17

Abstract excerpt

Distal myopathies are a group of rare, inherited muscular disorders characterized by progressive loss of muscle fibers that begins in the distal parts of arms and legs. Recently, variants in a new disease gene, ACTN2 , have been shown to cause distal myopathy. ACTN2 , a gene previously only associated with cardiomyopathies, encodes alpha-actinin-2, a protein expressed in both cardiac and skeletal sarcomeres. The p...
