Targeted exon capture and NGS to investigate an undefined myopathy reveal RYR1 variants

چکیده
Background The family under investigation consists of parents and two daughters, one being the proband. The mother and the proband have elongated facial features. The father and second daughter appear normal. The older daughter presented for elective tonsillectomy aged 8 years. She had severe masseter spasm after suxamethonium. The rest of the procedure was carried out under total intravenous anaesthesia. No blood gas analysis could be done, but a creatine kinase next day was significantly elevated (2934). This led to study of both parents. There was no family history of malignant hyperthermia but an undefined myopathy was suspected in mother and daughter. Both mother and father were diagnosed malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptible by in vitro contracture test (IVCT). This prompted a DNA analysis for variants associated with MH.

Atypical periodic paralysis and myalgia
OBJECTIVE To characterize the phenotype of patients with symptoms of periodic paralysis (PP) and ryanodine receptor (RYR1) gene mutations. METHODS Cases with a possible diagnosis of PP but additional clinicopathologic findings previously associated with RYR1-related disorders were referred for a tertiary neuromuscular clinical assessment in which they underwent detailed clinical evaluation, i...
متن کاملNext-generation DNA sequencing of a Swedish malignant hyperthermia cohort.
Malignant hyperthermia (MH)-related mutations have been identified in the ryanodine receptor type 1 gene (RYR1) and in the dihydropyridine gene (CACNA1S), but about half of the patients do not have causative mutations in these genes. We wanted to study the contribution of other muscle genes to the RYR1 phenotypes. We designed a gene panel for sequence enrichment targeting 64 genes of proteins i...
متن کاملExon skipping as a therapeutic strategy applied to an RYR1 mutation with pseudo-exon inclusion causing a severe core myopathy.
Central core disease is a myopathy often arising from mutations in the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RYR1) gene, encoding the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel RyR1. No treatment is currently available for this disease. We studied the pathological situation of a severely affected child with two recessive mutations, which resulted in a massive reduction in the amount of RyR1. The pater...
متن کاملDiscovery of pathogenic variants in a large Korean cohort of inherited muscular disorders.
Inherited muscular disorders (IMDs) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous genetic disorders. We investigated the mutational spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations in Korean patients with IMD. We developed a targeted panel of 69 known IMD genes and recruited a total of 209 Korean patients with IMD. Targeted capture sequencing identified 994 different variants. Among them, 98 variant...
متن کاملVariable Myopathic Presentation in a Single Family with Novel Skeletal RYR1 Mutation
We describe an autosomal recessive heterogeneous congenital myopathy in a large consanguineous family. The disease is characterized by variable severity, progressive course in 3 of 4 patients, myopathic face without ophthalmoplegia and proximal muscle weakness. Absence of cores was noted in all patients. Genome wide linkage analysis revealed a single locus on chromosome 19q13 with Zmax = 3.86 a...
