Functional Characterization of a Novel Genetic Variant in Desmin (p.Glu353dup) Causing Myofibrillar Myopathy and Generation of Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Disease Modeling
2023-12-28
Abstract excerpt
Desmin (DES) is a major intermediate filament protein crucial for the structural integrity and function of striated muscles. Mutations in DES have been associated with various forms of myopathies collectively known as "desminopathy." In this study, we identified a novel heterozygous mutation (c.1059_1061dupGGA) in exon 6 of DES in an Argentine family with myofibrillar myopathy. This mutation leads to the duplicati...
