Bjarne Udd and colleagues show that mutations affecting the cytoplasmic functions of the co-chaperone DNAJB6 result in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Their studies suggest that the mutations reduce the protective anti-aggregation effects of DNAJB6, leading to protein accumulation and autophagic pathology.
