Disease IDSourceNameDescription
618414 OMIMMyopathy, congenital, with fast-twitch type II fiber atrophy (MYOFTA)An autosomal recessive congenital myopathy characterized by decreased fetal movements, severe muscle weakness and respiratory failure. Additional features include delayed motor development, areflexia, facial weakness, normal eye movements, head lag, and mild contractures. Skeletal muscle biopsy shows variation in fiber size with atrophy of the fast-twitch type II fibers. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
