Academic Article
Overview
abstract
Mutations in glycogenin-1 (GYG1) cause an adult-onset polyglucosan body myopathy. We report here a patient presenting with late-onset distal myopathy. We wish to highlight this rare clinical phenotype of GYG1-related myopathy and the histological clues leading to its diagnosis.
