Finding the root of a mysterious myopathy in Hong Kong
Myopathy is a disease that causes muscle weakness, as a result of muscle fibers not working correctly.
Dr Hencher Lee works in a public-funded hospital of Hong Kong where a myopathy with an unknown cause was observed in Hong Kong patients.
After years of mystery around the source of the disease, as more and more patients stepped in with similar issues, Dr Lee and her team discovered something unexpected about its origin.
