Currently, ~30 genes of distal weakness (MYH7, HSPB8, FLNC, BAG3, VCP, DESMIN, DNAJB6, HNRNPA1, ACTN2, ACTA1, NOTCH2NLC, LRP12, GIPC1, CRYAB, MYOT, ZASP, TIA1, TTN, MATR3, SQSTM1, SQSTM1/TIA1, and PLIN4) and proximal weakness (COL6A2, CACNA1S, TNPO3, D4Z4, SMCHD1, HNRNPDL, PABPN1, and CAV3) are associated with the autosomal dominant (AD) form of RVM. This evidence concerns the gene HNRNPA1 and Alzheimer disease.
