Myopathy with mitochondrial inclusion bodies: histological and metabolic studies.
Apparently new information about a metabolic abnormality has been obtained by measuring biochemical and respiratory responses to controlled exercise in a patient with abnormal mitochondria in muscle fibres. A male patient (49 years old) presented with bilateral ptosis of 15 to 20 years' duration and weakness for one to two years. Biopsies from the deltoid and triceps muscles were subjected to h...
متن کاملMitochondrial processes are impaired in hereditary inclusion body myopathy.
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is an adult onset, slowly progressive distal and proximal myopathy. Although the causing gene, GNE, encodes for a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of sialic acid, its primary function in HIBM remains unknown. To elucidate the pathological mechanisms leading from the mutated GNE to the HIBM phenotype, we attempted to identify and characterize early occurri...
متن کاملCongenital myopathy with cytoplasmic bodies.
Since early infancy, a 15-year-old girl had suffered from an apparently static neuromuscular disorder that chiefly afflicted her proximal muscles but did not spare her distal ones. Her CPK values had repeatedly been mildly elevated and her electromyogram had been considered "myopathic". There were no similar neuromuscular disorders in the family. Quadriceps muscle biopsy showed a type I myofibe...
متن کاملMitochondrial Bioenergetics in the Metabolic Myopathy Accompanying Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a serious but relatively underdiagnosed and undertreated clinical condition associated with a marked reduction in functional capacity and a heightened risk of morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiology of lower extremity PAD is complex, and extends beyond the atherosclerotic arterial occlusion and subsequent mismatch between oxygen demand and delivery to ske...
متن کاملHereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM2)
Hereditary inclusion body myopathy type 2 (HIBM2) is a myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness with early adult onset. The disease is the result of a recessive mutation in the Glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase gene (GNE), which results in reduced enzyme function and sialic acid levels. A majority of individuals with HIBM2 are from Iranian-Jewish or ...
