Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting congenital muscular dystrophy with a mitochondrial disorder.SOLUTION: The method for detecting congenital muscular dystrophy with a mitochondrial disorder includes steps of: measuring variations of choline kinase β (CHKB) gene on the basis a specimen from a person being tested; and diagnosing congenital muscular dystrophy with a mitochondrial disorder when the choline kinase β (CHKB) activity reduces to approximately 0-30% of normal activity thereof by the variations. There is also provided a composition for a gene therapy for the disease that includes a vector containing DNA encoding normal choline kinase β (CHKB) in an expressible state.
