Overview of Gene Research
Ky, located on chromosome 3, encodes Kyphoscoliosis Peptidase, a transglutaminase-like protein in skeletal muscles. It is primarily involved in the formation and stabilization of neuromuscular intersections, which is essential for the development of the musculoskeletal system [1].
Mutations in KY cause Myofibrillar Myopathy-7 (MFM-7) and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). MFM-7 is an early-onset muscle disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by progressive muscle weakness and joint contractures. An Iranian family with MFM-7 was found to have a homozygous novel variant in KY (NM_178554.6:c.1247T > A, p. Ile416Asn) in two patients born to consanguineous parents, and their parents had the same heterozygous mutation [1].
In conclusion, Ky is crucial for the development of the musculoskeletal system. Studies of KY mutations in families like the one described contribute to understanding the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of MFM-7, which is an important step in elucidating the role of Ky in this muscle disorder [1].
