Abstract
We identified a new mutation in the myophosphorylase gene in a Japanese family with McArdle's disease. This point mutation results in the replacement of a tryptophan at amino acid position 361 with a stop codon, the third nonsense mutation in this disorder. Our findings further expand the already wide spectrum of genetic lesions associated with McArdle's disease, and establish that molecular genetic heterogeneity is also present in the Japanese population.
