This study describes five adolescent patients with distal leg weakness, identifying two subtypes of recessive distal myopathy. Findings highlight distinct muscle involvement patterns and biopsy results for Miyoshi

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Recessive distal myopathies are rare inherited muscle disorders.
  • Distinguishing between subtypes is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • Five adolescent patients presented with progressive distal lower extremity weakness.
  • Three patients showed calf muscle weakness with elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, consistent with Miyoshi's distal myopathy.
  • Two patients exhibited anterolateral leg muscle involvement and rimmed vacuoles, suggesting Nonaka's vacuolar distal myopathy.

Findings:

  • Muscle biopsies confirmed dystrophic changes in all patients.
  • Elevated CPK levels were a key indicator in Miyoshi's form.
  • Rimmed vacuoles were a distinguishing feature in the Nonaka's form.

Implications:

  • This case series refines the clinical and pathological differentiation of recessive distal myopathies.
  • Understanding these subtypes aids in genetic counseling and potential therapeutic strategies.
  • Early diagnosis is essential for managing progressive muscle weakness.
