Abstract: Core myopathies are clinically, pathologically, and genetically heterogeneous muscle diseases. Their onset and clinical severity are variable. Core myopathies are diagnosed by muscle biopsy showing focally reduced oxidative enzyme activity and can be pathologically divided… read more here.

Abstract: Few genes (RYR1, NEB, ACTA1, CFL2, KBTBD13) have been associated with core-rod congenital myopathies [7]. KBTBD13 belongs to the Kelch-repeat super-family of proteins and is implicated in the ubiquitination pathway. Dominant mutations in KBTBD13 have… read more here.
