In recent years, the phenotypic and molecular spectrum of DNAJB6-myopathy has been expanded, and several mutations of DNAJB6 have been identified in Europe, North America, and Asia. Interestingly, almost all identified mutations in previous reports were point mutations, and most of them were clustered in exon 5, which encodes the G\/F domain of DNAJB6. The so-far unique splice site mutation eliminating the entire G\/F domain was reported to cause a severe, early-onset phenotype. Here, we report a juvenile-onset Chinese patient who presented with proximal\u2013distal myopathy as well as esotropia and facial weakness. Muscle pathology showed rimmed vacuolation and myofibrillar disarrangement. A novel splice-site mutation NM_058246:c.236-1_240delGGTGGA of the DNAJB6 gene was identified by targeted exome sequencing, which results in a severe defect of the G\/F domain. This rare mutation type expands the molecular spectrum of DNAJB6-myopathy and further underlines the importance of the G\/F region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2022.925926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]],"date-time":"2022-06-23T04:38:27Z","timestamp":1655959107000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case Report: A Novel Splice-Site Mutation in DNAJB6 Associated With Juvenile-Onset Proximal\u2013Distal Myopathy in a Chinese Patient"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Guang","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaye","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinru","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongran","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaojuan","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xueqin","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"221","article-title":"LGMD1D Myopathy with Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Inclusions in a Saudi Family Due to DNAJB6 Mutation","volume":"37","author":"Bohlega","year":"2018","journal-title":"Acta Myol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19831","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.m109613200","article-title":"Characterization of a Brain-Enriched Chaperone, MRJ, that Inhibits Huntingtin Aggregation and Toxicity Independently","volume":"277","author":"Chuang","year":"2002","journal-title":"J.
