Green List (high evidence)

13 patients from nine unrelated families with acetylcholine receptor deficiency harbouring the CHRNA1 variant NM_001039523.3:c.257G>A (p.Arg86His) in homozygosity or compound heterozygosity with a predominant pattern of distal upper limb weakness in adulthood, similar to distal myopathy.
