Mutation in TOR1AIP1 encoding LAP1B in a form of muscular dystrophy: A novel gene related to nuclear envelopathies
Highlights • We identified TOR1AIP1 as a novel gene responsible for a myopathy with contractures. • Expression of LAP1B is absent in the patient skeletal muscle fibres. • Ultrastructural alterations of the nuclear envelope are observed. • Overexpression of LULL1 is detected in patient skeletal muscl...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • We identified TOR1AIP1 as a novel gene responsible for a myopathy with contractures. • Expression of LAP1B is absent in the patient skeletal muscle fibres. • Ultrastructural alterations of the nuclear envelope are observed. • Overexpression of LULL1 is detected in patient skeletal muscle. • This study expands the spectrum of genes associated with nuclear envelopathies. |
