Research Abstract

This study is about molecular genetics of a Japanese family of an autosomal dominant nemaline myopathy associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. Multipoint parametric linkage analysis revealed the target region spanning approximately 800Mb. Massively parallel sequencing for the proband was accomplished. Subsequently, the novel nonsynonymous variants were subjected to direct nucleotide sequence analysis for confirmation, and screened by Japanese genetic variation database (Human Genetic Variation Database) and in-house database of normal and disease control. The two of those variants were remaining as candidate pathogenic mutations. We are studying about which variant is the causative mutation of this family by functional analysis.
