Myotubular myopathy associated with cataract and electrical myotonia.

چکیده
A case of myotubular myopathy is described which is unusual because of bilateral cataracts and prominent myotonic-like discharges on the EMG. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to dystrophia myotonica.

Marathoning with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (proximal myotonic myopathy) and leukopenia
OBJECTIVES A mild, slowly progressive course of proximal myotonic myopathy, also known as myotonic dystrophy type 2, over years allowing the patient to continue with extreme sport activity, has been only rarely reported. METHODS Case report. RESULTS The patient is a 54-year-old female sport teacher who developed myotonia of the distal upper limbs at the age of 32 years. Over the following 2...
متن کاملThe role of microRNAs in X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy
X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a congenital neuromuscular disorder characterized by profound hypotonia and severe skeletal muscle weakness in the affected newborn males. The pathology is associated with mutations in the MTM1 gene leading to loss of function of the resulting encoded protein, myotubularin. Myotubularin is a phosphoinositol lipid phosphases known to be involved in endosom...
متن کاملIdentification of a mutation in the MTM1 gene, associated with X-linked myotubular myopathy, in a Greek family.
X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a rare congenital myopathy, usually characterized by severe hypotonia and respiratory insufficiency at birth, in affected, male infants. The disease is causally associated with mutations in the MTM1 gene, coding for phosphatase myotubularin. We report a severe case of XLMTM with a novel mutation, at a donor splicing site (c.1467+1G) previously associated ...
متن کاملX-linked myotubular myopathy and chylothorax.
X-linked myotubular myopathy usually presents at birth with hypotonia and respiratory distress. Phenotypic presentation, however, can be extreme variable. We report on a newborn baby, who presented with the severe form of the disease. In the second week of life, he developed a clinically relevant chylothorax, needing drainage and treatment with octreotide acetate. Pleural effusions are frequent...
متن کاملLoss of Myotubularin Function Results in T-Tubule Disorganization in Zebrafish and Human Myotubular Myopathy
Myotubularin is a lipid phosphatase implicated in endosomal trafficking in vitro, but with an unknown function in vivo. Mutations in myotubularin cause myotubular myopathy, a devastating congenital myopathy with unclear pathogenesis and no current therapies. Myotubular myopathy was the first described of a growing list of conditions caused by mutations in proteins implicated in membrane traffic...
