Familial centronuclear myopathy associated with 'cardiomyopathy'.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of familial centronuclear myopathy are described. Both presented features of 'cardiomyopathy and one had signs of slight congenital aortic stenosis. The 'cardiomyopathy' was fatal in one case. The clinical histological, and necropsy findings are presented and discussed.

Familial centronuclear myopathy.
The clinical and histological features of two Negro brothers with a centronuclear myopathy are described. They bring to 19 the number of cases now reported with this constellation of physical signs and pathological changes in the muscles. A review of these patients suggests the existence of several different diseases causing this picture, though presumably the underlying biochemical defects are...
متن کاملMyotubularin controls desmin intermediate filament architecture and mitochondrial dynamics in human and mouse skeletal muscle.
Muscle contraction relies on a highly organized intracellular network of membrane organelles and cytoskeleton proteins. Among the latter are the intermediate filaments (IFs), a large family of proteins mutated in more than 30 human diseases. For example, mutations in the DES gene, which encodes the IF desmin, lead to desmin-related myopathy and cardiomyopathy. Here, we demonstrate that myotubul...
متن کاملA ‘second truncation’ in TTN causes early onset recessive muscular dystrophy
Mutations in the gene encoding the giant skeletal muscle protein titin are associated with a variety of muscle disorders, including recessive congenital myopathies ±cardiomyopathy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and late onset dominant distal myopathy. Heterozygous truncating mutations have also been linked to dilated cardiomyopathy. The phenotypic spectrum of titinopathies is emerging a...
متن کاملCase report of intrafamilial variability in autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy associated to a novel BIN1 stop mutation
Centronuclear myopathies (CNM) describe a group of rare muscle diseases typically presenting an abnormal positioning of nuclei in muscle fibers. To date, three genes are known to be associated to a classical CNM phenotype. The X-linked neonatal form (XLCNM) is due to mutations in MTM1 and involves a severe and generalized muscle weakness at birth. The autosomal dominant form results from DNM2 m...
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 ...
