What is HSPB8 Myopathy?

HSPB8 Myopathy is an ultrarare, incurable genetic disorder marked by muscle wasting and progressive weakness, typically manifesting in young adults between their 20s and 40s. This slowly progressing, autosomal dominant condition is caused by a mutation in the HSPB8 gene. Muscle weakness usually begins either proximally or distally and predominantly affects the legs, gradually spreading to the trunk and arms. To date, six publications describing 26 case studies have been published
