✦ Synopsis

We report two novel homozygous mutations in the myophosphorylase gene (PYGM) in a patient with McArdle´s disease. A C-to-T transition that changed an arginine to tryptophan at codon 193 (R193W) in exon 5, and a deletion of two adenine base pairs in exon 20 at codon 794/795 (794/795 delAA) were identified. Several lines of evidence suggest the pathogenicity of both mutations: (i) they were the only nucleotide alteration in the coding region and adjacent exon/intron boundaries of the PYGM gene; (ii) the R193W mutation leads to the replacement of a highly conserved amino acid residue involved in glucose-6-P binding, and the 794/795 delAA mutation predicts a frameshift and premature termination of the protein; (iii) 60 normal controls and 20 disease controls did not have the mutations in their 160 alleles.

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

Primary systemic carnitine deficiency (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of fatty acid oxidation caused by defective cellular carnitine transport. The disease is characterized by metabolic derangement simulating Reye´s syndrome, hypoglcaemia, progressive cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy. R

Galactosialidosis is a recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease characterized by the combined deficiency of neuraminidase and beta-galactosidase secondary to the genetic deficiency of cathepsin A/protective protein. In lysosomes, cathepsin A forms a high-molecular-weight complex with beta-gal
