This report further expands the phenotypic spectrum of myopathies associated with TPM3 mutations, as mutations in TPM3 had not previously been reported with adult-onset distal myopathy. We also discuss the interpretation of variants of unknown significance in patients with TPM3 mutations and summarise the typical muscle MRI findings of patients with TPM3 mutations.
