Congenital myopathies.
This review focuses on congenital myopathies, a distinct but markedly heterogeneous group of muscle disorders that present with muscle weakness and typically appear at birth or in infancy. These myopathies have characteristic histopathologic abnormalities on muscle biopsy, allowing a preliminary morphologic classification. Advances in molecular genetics have allowed a more rational classificati...
متن کاملMetabolic myopathies.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The metabolic myopathies result from inborn errors of metabolism affecting intracellular energy production due to defects in glycogen, lipid, adenine nucleotides, and mitochondrial metabolism. This article provides an overview of the most common metabolic myopathies. RECENT FINDINGS Our knowledge of metabolic myopathies has expanded rapidly in recent years, providing us with...
متن کاملToxic myopathies.
PURPOSE This article reviews the most important muscle toxins, many of which are widely prescribed medications. Particular emphasis is placed on statins, which cause muscle symptoms in a relatively large proportion of the patients who take them. RECENT FINDINGS As with other toxic myopathies, most cases of statin-associated myotoxicity are self-limited and subside with discontinuation of the ...
متن کاملDistal myopathies.
Although muscle disease classically presents with proximal extremity weakness, some myopathic disorders, including several types of muscular dystrophy, result in predominantly, or exclusively, distal muscle involvement. Accurate diagnosis of these relatively uncommon conditions can be challenging for the clinician, because of both the unusual phenotype and the significant overlap in the clinica...
متن کاملProtein aggregate myopathies.
Protein aggregate myopathies (PAMs) based on the morphologic phenomenon of aggregation of proteins within muscle fibers may occur in children (selenoproteinopathies, actinopathies, and myosinopathies) or adults (certain myofibrillar myopathies and myosinopathies). They may be mutation related, which includes virtually all childhood forms but certain other forms as well, or sporadic, which are l...
