Unilateral calf atrophy secondary to a de novo mutation of the caveolin-3 gene

A 23‐year‐old man was evaluated for atrophy of the left calf. He had a myopathic pattern on electromyography. Light microscopy showed dystrophic changes and reduced immunostaining for dysferlin and caveolin‐3. The subsarcolemmal space was enlarged, and abnormal vesicles were visible with electron mi...
