Background: Mutations in the cytoplasmic dynein 1 heavy chain gene (DYNC1H1) have been associated with spinal muscular atrophy with predominant lower extremity involvement (SMA-LED), Charcot-Marie-Tooth 2O (CMT2O) disease, cortical migration anomalies, and autosomal dominant mental retardation13. SMA-LED phenotype-related mutation was found in the DYNC1H1 gene in the patient who applied with the complaint of gait disturbance.

Methods: Pathogenic heterozygous c.

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Optometry and Vision Science, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China.

Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic disease with widely different clinical manifestations, but the relationship between genotype and phenotype is not fully understood. In the present study, we recruited a Chinese family in which two members had been diagnosed with localized EB simplex (EBS), with clinical manifestation, including blisters and erosions on the soles of the feet since infancy.

Objective: To identify and confirm the genetic variation in a Chinese family diagnosed as localized EBS.
