Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy congenital with brain and eye anomalies A8

An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy associated with cobblestone lissencephaly and other brain anomalies, eye malformations, profound intellectual disability, and death usually in the first years of life. Included diseases are the more severe Walker-Warburg syndrome and the slightly less severe muscle-eye-brain disease.

Merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy 1A

Characterized by difficulty walking, hypotonia, proximal weakness, hyporeflexia, and white matter hypodensity on MRI.

Key component in the assembly and functioning of vertebrate striated muscles. By providing connections at the level of individual microfilaments, it contributes to the fine balance of forces between the two halves of the sarcomere. The size and extensibility of the cross-links are the main determinants of sarcomere extensibility properties of muscle. In non-muscle cells, seems to play a role in chromosome condensation and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Might link the lamina network to ch

Myopathy, myofibrillar, 9, with early respiratory failure

An autosomal dominant myopathy characterized by adulthood onset of weakness in proximal, distal, axial and respiratory muscles. Pelvic girdle weakness, foot drop and neck weakness are the main symptoms at onset, but ultimately the weakness usually involves the proximal compartment of both upper and lower limbs. Additional features include variable degrees of Achilles tendon contractures, spinal rigidity and muscle hypertrophy. Respiratory involvement often leads to requirement for non-invasive ventilation support.

Bethlem myopathy 1C

A form of Bethlem myopathy, a slowly progressive muscular dystrophy characterized by joint contractures, most frequently affecting the elbows and ankles, and muscle weakness and wasting involving the proximal and extensor muscles more than the distal and flexor ones. The clinical onset more often occurs in childhood or adulthood, but it can be prenatal with decreased fetal movements or neonatal with hypotonia. The hallmark of Bethlem myopathy is long finger flexion contractures. BTHLM1C inheritance is autosomal dominant.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Most common form of muscular dystrophy; a sex-linked recessive disorder. It typically presents in boys aged 3 to 7 year as proximal muscle weakness causing waddling gait, toe-walking, lordosis, frequent falls, and difficulty in standing up and climbing up stairs. The pelvic girdle is affected first, then the shoulder girdle. Progression is steady and most patients are confined to a wheelchair by age of 10 or 12. Flexion contractures and scoliosis ultimately occur. About 50% of patients have a lower IQ than their genetic expectations would suggest. There is no treatment.

Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia

Rare skeletal syndrome characterized by bone fragility, sclerosis of tubular bones, and cemento-osseous lesions of the jawbone. Patients experience frequent bone fractures caused by trivial accidents in childhood; however the fractures heal normally without bone deformity. The jaw lesions replace the tooth-bearing segments of the maxilla and mandible with fibrous connective tissues, including various amounts of cementum-like calcified mass, sometimes causing facial deformities. Patients also have a propensity for jaw infection and often suffer from purulent osteomyelitis-like symptoms, such as swelling of and pus discharge from the gums, mobility of the teeth, insufficient healing after tooth extraction and exposure of the lesions into the oral cavity.
