Recessive mutations in muscle-specific isoforms of FXR1 cause congenital multi-minicore myopathy

FXR1P is a RNA binding protein involved in muscle development. Here, the authors show that mutations in FXR1 exon 15, which is alternatively spliced in muscle, cause multi-minicore myopathy in humans and in mouse models.
