Microvillous Inclusion Disease (MID) is a rare, autosomal recessive gastrointestinal disease of increased frequency among the Navajos. Previous work has shown a deficiency of RAB8 in one Japanese patient, while homozygous mutations in MYO5B were found in 7 of 10 mostly Middle Eastern families. We have identified a shared homozygous mutation in MYO5B in seven affected Navajos with the expected heterozygosity in five parents. We have developed a simple restriction enzyme based assay that allows for rapid screening for this mutation.
