Condition

Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1

Assembled from catalogue records November 5, 2026

Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 28 positions from 1 study. Assembled by code from the GWAS Catalog's records and kept current as positions arrive; every figure is the studies' own.

What this condition connects to

Prevalence
No prevalence figure appears here: association records do not measure how common a condition is.
Inheritance
Many positions, each with a small effect: 28 positions across 1 study, the pattern of a polygenic condition. The records do not give a heritability, and this page does not supply one.

Genome-wide studies have so far placed 28 positions on Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1, from 1 study; the GWAS Catalog files the condition as "Miyoshi muscular dystrophy 1". MyGeneLog's code assembles this page from those records and rebuilds it when a new position is reported — nothing here was written by hand, and nothing here goes beyond what the records say.

Where the positions come from

A study. It contributes 28 positions: rs1024524968 (DYSF), rs121908953 (DYSF), rs121908955 (DYSF), rs121908958 (DYSF), rs121908959 (DYSF), rs121908962 (DYSF), rs1285082850 (DYSF), rs1356633122 (DYSF), and 20 more.

The positions

The 28 positions sit in or beside 1 gene: DYSF. These are locations, as the catalogue records them; whether any of these genes is how a position acts is a question the records leave open.

What these records can and cannot tell you

It is a record of what genome-wide studies have reported about Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1, kept current by code. It is not a description of the condition, an estimate of how common it is, or guidance of any kind — a page that took those from association records would be inventing them. Each variant page linked here carries that study's own record for the position in fixed sentences, and ClinVar's record where one exists.

Clinical detail

Genotype and diagnosis

A genotype does not diagnose Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1; a clinician does. No guideline uses the 28 variants on this page to predict it, screen for it or confirm it.

Its sources are association records, and association records carry no clinical guidance, so neither does this page. What a genome-wide study reports is a difference between groups of people, not a finding about any one person. Symptoms, tests and treatment are questions for a clinician.

Questions about Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1

What is Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1?

In the GWAS Catalog, Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1 is filed as "Miyoshi muscular dystrophy 1". Rather than define it, this page lists the genome-wide findings: 28 positions from 1 study, each with its study's sample and citation.

Is Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1 genetic?

Genome-wide studies have reported 28 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.

Which genes are linked to Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1 on this page?

The catalogue maps the positions to 1 gene: DYSF. These are where the positions sit, not proof of how they act.

Can these variants predict whether I will get Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1?

No. Each variant shifts the odds only slightly, and only on average across many people. No guideline predicts Miyoshi Muscular Dystrophy 1 from a genotype; a clinician diagnoses it.
