Alpha-B crystallin-related myofibrillar myopathy is an autosomal dominant muscular disorder characterized by adult onset of progressive muscle weakness affecting both the proximal and distal muscles and associated with respiratory insufficiency, cardiomyopathy, and cataracts. There is phenotypic variability both within and between families (Fardeau et al., 1978; Selcen and Engel, 2003).
A homozygous founder mutation in the CRYAB gene has been identified in Canadian aboriginal infants of Cree origin who have a severe fatal infantile hypertonic form of myofibrillar myopathy; see 613869.
For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of myofibrillar myopathy, see MFM1 (601419). (608810)
MalaCards based summary : Myopathy, Myofibrillar, 2, also known as alpha-b crystallinopathy, is related to early-onset lamellar cataract and cataract 16, multiple types. An important gene associated with Myopathy, Myofibrillar, 2 is CRYAB (Crystallin Alpha B). Related phenotypes are dysphagia and dysphonia Disease Ontology : 12 A myofibrillar myopathy that has material basis in heterozygous mutation in the alpha-B-crystallin gene on chromosome 11q23. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Myopathy, myofibrillar, 2: A form of myofibrillar myopathy, a group of chronic neuromuscular disorders characterized at ultrastructural level by disintegration of the sarcomeric Z disk and myofibrils, and replacement of the normal myofibrillar markings by small dense granules, or larger hyaline masses, or amorphous material. MFM2 is characterized by weakness of the proximal and distal limb muscles, weakness of the neck, velopharynx and trunk muscles, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cataract in a subset of patients. |
