Figure 1 Structure of skeletal-muscle titin. The location of calpain-3 binding sites and the site of Mex6 mutations are indicated. Lower schematic picture shows the 3′/C-terminal modular structure of titin, providing a more detailed illustration of ligand and antibody binding sites.

Figure 2 The TMD-associated 11-bp mutation at positions 293,268–293,280 in exon Mex6 of TTN. A, Nucleotide sequence with borders of mutated area indicated by arrows. B, SSCP analysis of exon Mex6 of TTN, including the associated mutation, from patients with TMD and unaffected control individuals. The migration of PCR products matches the haplotypes and phenotypes of the patients. Bands indicating the mutation are marked by arrows. Samples are denoted “1”–“16.” w/w = Wild-type sequence from an unaffected control individual; w/m = TMD heterozygote; m/m = TMD homozygote; L = 100-bp DNA ladder.

Figure 3 The French TMD-associated base substitution CTG→CCG at position 293,357, causing a Leu→Pro change in exon Mex6 of TTN. Nucleotide sequence with the mutation indicated by an arrow. w/w = Wild-type sequence from healthy relative; w/m = heterozygous affected relative.
