## Abstract We report two brothers from a Japanese family with a lateβonset distal myopathy characterized by rimmed vacuoles and dysferlin deficiency with no inflammatory infiltration and dystrophic changes in muscle biopsy. Mutations in the __GNE__, dysferlin, caveolin 3, emerin, and lamin A/C gen
Investigators have speculated that the degenerative process in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) mainly involves the lysosomal system. To investigate possible protein abnormalities related to intracellular lysosomal proteolytic pathways in DMRV-affected muscles, we performed immunohistoche
Human Xp22.2 has been proposed as a candidate region for the Rett syndrome (RTT) gene. M6b, a member of the proteolipid protein gene family, was mapped to Xp22.2 within one of the RTT candidate regions. In this article we describe the structure of the M6b gene, refine the physical mapping of M6b bet
