Novel Mutation in Anoctamin 5 Gene Causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2L.
We report a 49-year-old man who presented with a history of asymmetric weakness. His neurological examination and electromyogram testing suggested the presence of a myopathy. A muscle biopsy confirmed the presence of a myopathy with several lobulated, whorled and ring fibers, and it showed no evidence of inflammation. Genetic testing of more than 50 genes known to cause myopathy was performed and demonstrates the presence of the common founder mutation in ANO5 gene c.191dupA, which he inherited from his unaffected father. In addition, he inherited a novel mutation, c.1063C>T (p.L355F) in exon 11 of ANO5 gene from his unaffected mother. The founder mutation is a known pathogenic variant and, based on our protein modeling analysis, the novel c.1063C>T (p.L355F) variant is likely pathogenic. This indicates that he is a compound heterozygote, providing strong support for the diagnosis of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2L.
