Abstract
Congenital myopathies are inherited primary disorders of the muscle caused by mutations affecting structural, contractile, or regulatory proteins. In the more than 20 genes associated to these conditions, ryanodine receptor type 1 gene (RYR1) is responsible for the most common forms and is associated with a wide range of clinical phenotypes and pathological findings. Magnetic resonance imaging of muscle has been used increasingly to direct genetic testing in myopathies.File in questo prodotto:
