Abstract

Anoctamin 5 (ANO5) belongs to the Anoctamin family of transmembrane proteins and has been suggested to play a part in muscle cell membrane fusion and repair. Mutations in the ANO5 gene are a common cause of muscular dystrophy. Little is known about the pathophysiology in ANO5‐related muscular dystrophy. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether inflammatory changes are present in patients with ANO5 myopathy by making a systematic histological and MRI-based evaluation of muscles. Muscle biopsies from 24 patients diagnosed with ANO5 myopathy were reviewed.
