Yet the presence of a group of mutated genes linked to myopathies (<i>ITGA7</i>, <i>NRAP</i>, <i>POLM</i>, <i>SCN5A</i>, <i>XIRP2</i>) and muscular dystrophy (<i>ITGA7</i>) raises a question about the involvement of these muscular pathologies in hernia genesis and unsuccessful hernia repairs associated with the current case. This evidence concerns the gene NRAP and muscular dystrophy.
