<p>The NHGRI Next Generation Mendelian Genetics project uses exome resequencing to identify variants in unsolved Mendelian diseases.</p> <p>Samples were collected from a single, multi-generational family with the same phenotype of exaggerated muscular development (muscular hypertrophy) and strength characterized by reduced fat pad thickness under the skin. All family members deny "body building" activities, and are so far negative for known gene mutation that have been identified as associated with excessive muscle development. All family members have examples of demonstrating extraordinary strength occurring both in childhood and old age. No negative associated phenotype traits with the muscle hypertrophy phenotype have been identified.</p>
