615673 | OMIM | Myopathy with extrapyramidal signs (MPXPS) | An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset proximal muscle weakness with a static course and moderately to grossly elevated serum creatine kinase levels accompanied by learning difficulties. Most patients develop subtle extrapyramidal motor signs that progress to a debilitating disorder of involuntary movement with variable features, including chorea, tremor, dystonic posturing and orofacial dyskinesia. Additional variable features include ataxia, microcephaly, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, optic atrophy and axonal peripheral neuropathy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The complex phenotype is due to alterations in mitochondrial calcium signaling characterized by increased mitochondrial Ca(2+) load (PubMed:24336167). |
