Notably, clinical chemistry data derived from a previously published patient (patient 2, [14]), a case of the very rare desminopathy subform with a lack of desmin, showed blood acylcarnitine levels in a normal range, but a moderately increased C8/C10-carnitine ratio (0.980; normal range, 0.000 to 0.600). This evidence concerns the gene DES and Desminopathy.
