Delayed Respiratory Insufficiency and Extramuscular Abnormalities in Selenoprotein N-Related Myopathies
Background: Selenoprotein N-related myopathies (SEPN1-RMs) are a subset of congenital myopathies caused by mutations of Selenoprotein N gene (SELENON or SEPN1). Clinical phenotype is considered as highly consistent and little attention has been given to the extramuscular abnormalities.Methods: We re...
