Green List (high evidence)

Nascimento et al described four unrelated families (12 individuals in total) with monoallelic DTNA variants affecting the coiled-coil domain of α-dystrobrevin. the phenotype is characterised by myalgia, exercise intolerance with variable ages of onset, proximal lower limb weakness from first decade, raised CK levels and one report of rhabdomyolysis. Autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities were also reported. Muscle biopsies showed mixed myopathic and dystrophic findings, with reduced α-dystrobrevin immunoreactivity and variably reduced immunoreactivity of other DGC proteins.
