  1. Patients are ordered by sex, age at which symptoms first presented, and type of PHKA1 variant. Ages are provided in years. The highest creatine kinase (CK) level detected since presentation is reported and the upper limit of normal (N) was considered 310 U/L.
  2. N/A not applicable/assessed, WES whole exome sequencing, WGS whole genome sequencing.
  3. aAn exact age of onset was not available. The patient endorsed symptoms starting in early childhood (i.e., prior to age 8 years). See the case description for more details.
  4. bVariant in PHKA1 was previously reported in the literature.
  5. cA homozygous nonsense mutation in FLG at c.1501C>T (p.Arg501Ter), associated with ichthyosis vulgaris, was also identified and considered to be unrelated to his myopathic symptoms.
  6. dA variant of uncertain significance in RYR1 at c.1735G>A (p.Glu579Lys) was also identified and has been associated with autosomal dominant central core myopathy and congenital myopathy with fiber type disproportion.
  7. eVariants of uncertain significance in AMPD1 at c.133C>T (p.Gln45Ter) and PYGM at c.160T>G (p.Phe54Val) were also identified.
