EOMs are also specifically spared in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy yet they are affected in patients with some congenital myopathies, including patients with recessive RYR1 myopathies carrying a hypomorphic or null allele (Porter et al., 1995; Fischer et al., 2002; Porter et al., 2003; Amburgey et al., 2013). The gene discussed is RYR1; the disease is congenital myopathy.
