Identification and characterization of three novel mutations in the CASQ1 gene in four patients with tubular aggregate myopathy.

Here, we report the identification of three novel missense mutations in the calsequestrin-1 (CASQ1) gene in four patients with tubular aggregate myopathy. These CASQ1 mutations affect conserved amino acids in position 44 (p.(Asp44Asn)), 103 (p.
