Central core disease, a congenital myopathy, causes hypotonia and weakness. This report details two pediatric cases, highlighting the genetic basis of this rare neuromuscular disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Central core disease (CCD) is a congenital myopathy.
  • Characterized by generalized hypotonia, muscle weakness, and central cores on biopsy.
  • Typically presents in infancy with autosomal dominant inheritance.

Observation:

  • This report presents two pediatric cases of CCD.
  • A 3-year-old male and an 8-year-old female.
  • Both cases exhibit typical symptoms of the disease.

Findings:

  • The genetic locus for CCD is identified on Chromosome 19q13.1.
  • The Ryanodine receptor gene (RyR1) is implicated.
  • These cases align with the known genetic and clinical profile of CCD.

Implications:

  • Understanding the genetic basis of CCD is crucial for diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into RyR1 mutations can elucidate disease mechanisms.
  • Early diagnosis and genetic counseling are vital for affected families.
