Two desmin gene mutations associated with myofibrillar myopathies in Polish families.

Two desmin gene mutations associated with myofibrillar myopathies in Polish families.

Desmin is a muscle-specific intermediate filament protein which forms a network connecting the sarcomere, T tubules, sarcolemma, nuclear membrane, mitochondria and other organelles. Mutations in the gene coding for desmin (DES) cause skeletal myopathies often combined with cardiomyopathy, or isolate...
