“…34,[137][138][139][140][141] Mutations in DES, DNAJB6, LMNA, MYOT, PLEC, and TTN give rise to MFMs of various clinical phenotypes and to LGMD without myofibrillar pathology on muscle biopsy (see Table 2). Mutations in genes encoding for other Z-disk-related proteins, such as ACTA1, FHL1, and NEB, in addition to MFM, can also cause congenital myopathies with different histopathologic features, 142,143 whereas mutations in FHL1 and LMNA can also underlie an EDMD phenotype. 66 Mutations in PLEC, another Z-disk-interacting protein, may lead to LGMD2 without skin lesions (LGMD2Q) or epidermolysis bullosa simplex with associated congenital myasthenic syndrome, muscular dystrophy, or pyloric atresia.…”
