Central core disease (CCD) is a congenital myopathy due to dominant mutations in the
skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1). The authors report three patients from two
consanguineous families with symptoms of a congenital myopathy, cores on muscle biopsy,
and confirmed linkage to the RYR1 locus. Molecular genetic studies in one family identified
a V4849I homozygous missense mutation in the RYR1 gene. This report suggests a
congenital myopathy associated with recessive RYR1 mutations.
