title: A novel nonsense mutation (R269X) in the myophosphorylase gene in a patient with McArdle disease.
abstract: We identified a novel nonsense mutation in the myophoshorylase gene in a patient of Italian origin with McArdle disease. This homozygous C-to-T transition (805C > T) results in the replacement of a arginine at amino acid position 269 with a stop codon (R269X). Our data further expand the genetic heterogeneity in patients with McArdle disease.
