Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
255310 | OMIM | Myopathy, congenital, with fiber-type disproportion (CFTD) | A genetically heterogeneous disorder in which there is relative hypotrophy of type 1 muscle fibers compared to type 2 fibers on skeletal muscle biopsy. However, these findings are not specific and can be found in many different myopathic and neuropathic conditions. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
609284 | OMIM | Nemaline myopathy 1 (NEM1) | A form of nemaline myopathy with autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance. Nemaline myopathies are disorders characterized by muscle weakness of varying onset and severity, and abnormal thread-like or rod-shaped structures in muscle fibers on histologic examination. Autosomal dominant NEM1 is characterized by a moderate phenotype with onset between birth and early second decade of life. Weakness is diffuse and symmetric with slow progression often with need for a wheelchair in adulthood. The autosomal recessive form has onset at birth with moderate to severe hypotonia and diffuse weakness. In the most severe cases, death can occur before 2 years. Less severe cases have delayed major motor milestones, and these patients may walk, but often need a wheelchair before 10 years. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
