Abstract:

Objective To perform the clinical molecular diagnosis in a Chinese Han boy with muscular dystrophy.Methods This boy had been diagnosed to exclude Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy(DMD/BMD). The whole exome sequencing(WES) was performed for his peripheral blood genomic DNA,and the relevant mutations identified by WES were verified by Sanger sequencing. Results WES results revealed that calpin 3 gene(CAPN3) existed 2 compound heterozygous mutations. One is a heterozygous nonsense mutation c.439C>T,p.Arg147* in exon 3,while exon 13 had another heterozygous missense mutation c.1621C>T, p. Arg541Trp. Conclusions By high-throughput sequencing,the patient is eventually diagnosed as type 2A of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy(LGMD).
