<i>SEPN1</i> -related myopathies

Abstract

This study describes the largest population affected by SEPN1-RM reported so far. Our findings show that the spectrum of severity is wider than previously reported. Respiratory insufficiency generally develops by 14 years but may occur as early as in infancy or not until the fourth decade. Motor abilities remain essentially static over time even in patients with early presentation. Most adult patients remain ambulant and fully employed.
