Synonym: Proximal Myopathy with Focal Depletion of Mitochondria
SNOMED CT: Proximal myopathy with focal depletion of mitochondria (1197756002)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010923
OMIM®: 600706
Orphanet: ORPHA521305

Definition

A rare genetic neuromuscular disease with characteristics of late onset of mild, progressive proximal muscle weakness, severe myalgia during and after exercise, and susceptibility to rhabdomyolysis. Intellectual disability is mild or absent. There are no abnormalities of the skin. Muscle biopsy shows focal depletion of mitochondria especially at the centre of muscle fibres, surrounded by enlarged mitochondria at the periphery. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Exercise-induced myalgia
MedGen UID:
340638
Concept ID:
C1850830
Sign or Symptom
The occurrence of an unusually high amount of muscle pain following exercise.
Proximal muscle weakness
MedGen UID:
113169
Concept ID:
C0221629
Finding
A lack of strength of the proximal muscles.
Elevated circulating creatine kinase concentration
MedGen UID:
69128
Concept ID:
C0241005
Finding
An elevation of the level of the enzyme creatine kinase (also known as creatine phosphokinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) in the blood. CK levels can be elevated in a number of clinical disorders such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, and muscular dystrophy.
