Native American myopathy (NAM) is autosomal recessive myopathy that was first reported in the Lumbee Indians of North Carolina. NAM features include myopathic facies, susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia, kyphoscoliosis, and cleft palate. The recent study identified a mutation in STAC3 as the cause for NAM.
