In oculopharyngodistal myopathies, repeat expansions were identified in two novel disease-causing genes, RILPL1 and ABCD3. In multisystem proteinopathies, variants in HNRNPA1 and TARDBP, genes previously associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, have been shown to cause late-onset distal myopathy without ALS. This evidence concerns the gene TARDBP and oculopharyngodistal myopathy.
