Myofibrillar myopathy-6 is an autosomal dominant severe neuromuscular disorder characterized by onset in the first decade of rapidly progressive generalized and proximal muscle weakness, respiratory insufficiency, cardiomyopathy, and skeletal deformities related to muscle weakness. Muscle biopsy shows fiber-type grouping, disruption of the Z lines, and filamentous inclusions, and sural nerve biopsy shows a neuropathy, often with giant axonal neurons. Most patients are severely affected by the second decade and need cardiac transplant, ventilation, and/or a wheelchair (summary by Jaffer et al., 2012).
For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of myofibrillar myopathy (MFM), see MFM1 (601419). (612954)
MalaCards based summary : Myopathy, Myofibrillar, 6, also known as myopathy, myofibrillar, bag3-related, is related to myopathy and myofibrillar myopathy, and has symptoms including respiratory insufficiency, scoliosis and facial palsy. An important gene associated with Myopathy, Myofibrillar, 6 is BAG3 (BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3). Affiliated tissues include skeletal muscle. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 71 Myopathy, myofibrillar, 6: A form of myofibrillar myopathy, a group of chronic neuromuscular disorders characterized at ultrastructural level by disintegration of the sarcomeric Z disc and myofibrils, and replacement of the normal myofibrillar markings by small dense granules, or larger hyaline masses, or amorphous material. MFM6 is characterized by early-onset of severe, progressive, diffuse muscle weakness associated with cardiomyopathy, severe respiratory insufficiency during adolescence, and a rigid spine in some patients. |
