Comment when marking as ready: Adult onset of symptoms

Comment on list classification: Although causation clear, the phenotype is associated with adult onset of symptoms from the current knowledge.
Created: 2 Feb 2017, 11:29 a.m.
Many affected individuals with mutations within the gene and the majority are missense. However, age of onset is variable but typically in 2nd / 3rd decade. Therefore considered red as would not be expected to cause congenital myopathy.
