This study details a family with autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (CNM), characterized by slow progression, limb weakness, and specific muscle biopsy findings. Early diagnosis and understanding of genetic inheritance patterns are crucial for managing this rare neuromuscular disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Muscle Biology

Context:

  • Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a group of rare inherited muscle disorders.
  • Autosomal dominant inheritance patterns are observed in some forms of CNM.
  • Understanding the clinical and pathological spectrum of CNM is essential for diagnosis and management.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical, electrophysiological, and pathological features of a family affected by autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy.
  • To investigate potential subclinical nervous system involvement in affected individuals.
  • To correlate muscle biopsy findings with immunocytochemical analysis of dystrophin.

Summary:

  • A 3-generation family exhibited autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy with adult onset (early forties), slow progression, and predominant limb weakness.

  • Clinical findings included strabismus and calf hypertrophy; serum creatinine kinase levels were normal.
  • Muscle biopsies revealed characteristic central nuclei (50-80%), and dystrophin staining suggested developmental arrest in myofiber morphogenesis.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the clinical variability and diagnostic challenges of autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy.
    • Provides insights into potential subclinical neurological involvement using brainstem auditory evoked potentials.
    • Contributes to the understanding of the underlying pathomechanisms, including myofiber development, in centronuclear myopathy.
