Abstract

Abstract : This study shows that gain‐of‐function variants in KLHL24 causing EBS and DCM, do not only originate in the start‐codon and suggest that any nonsense‐inducing variant affecting nucleotides c.4_84 will likely cause the same effect on protein level and a similar potential lethal phenotype.
