Asthma is a complex genetic disorder that affects 5% of adults and 10% of children worldwide. The complete characterization of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene identified missense mutations in 15% of 144 unrelated adult patients with asthma, but in none of 41 subje
We identified a novel missense mutation in the myophosphorylase gene (PYGM) in a Spanish patient with McArdle's disease. This homozygous T-to-C transition results in the replacement of a highly conserved tryptophan at amino acid position (aa) 797 with an arginine in the C-terminal domain of the PYGM
