- The prevalence of mutations of ACTG2 or FLNA genes in a subgroup of patients with idiopathic CIPO with a myopathic phenotype revealed by reduced or absent distal esophageal contractility evaluated with high resolution esophageal manometry
Overview
Brief Summary
To assess the diagnostic yield of Sanger sequencing for ACTG2 and FLNA genes evaluation on blood or saliva sample in patients with idiopathic CIPO in which high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) shows reduced (DCI <450 mmHg*s*cm) or absent distal esophageal contractility.
