Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is associated with an expansion of an unstable (CTG)n repeat in the 3' untranslated region of the DM protein kinase (DMPK) gene on chromosome 19q13.3. We studied six patients from two families who showed no expansions of the repeat, in spite of their clinical diagnosis of DM. These patients had multi-systemic manifestations that were distinguishable from those seen in other myotonic disorders, including proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM). In one additional family, two symptomatic members showed no expanded (CTG)n repeats, while their affected relatives had the expanded repeats. DM haplotype analysis failed to exclude the DMPK locus as a possible site of mutation in each family; however,DMPK mRNA levels were normal. We conclude that a mutation(s) other than the expanded (CTG)n repeat can cause the DM phenotype. The mutation(s) in these families remain(s) to be mapped and characterized. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of absent, unrecognized, or minimal myotonic discharges (MDs) in myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). We performed a retrospective review of needle electromyography (EMG) data prior to genetic diagnosis in 49 DM2 patients at the Mayo Clinic. MDs were not reported on first or repeat EMG studies (n = 8) and not found in archived recordings of 4 patients (8%); archived EMG recordings (n = 4) confirmed the absence of MDs (n = 2), including 1 patient with normal insertional activity in all muscles, and misinterpretation of MDs as slow fibrillation potentials (n = 1) and complex repetitive discharge (CRD) activity (n = 1). Eight (16%) patients had minimal classic MDs with diffusely increased insertional activity, including waning‐only MDs in all patients in this group with archived EMG recordings (n = 5). Diffuse MDs were found in 33 (67%) patients. Absent or minimal MDs do not exclude DM2. Over‐reliance on diffuse MDs in patients who present with myopathy may lead to delay in genetic diagnosis of DM2. Muscle Nerve, 2010 相似文献

We evaluated muscle biopsies from 57 patients with genetically confirmed myotonic dystrophy type 2/proximal myotonic myopathy (DM2/PROMM). Light microscopy showed myopathic together with \"denervation-like\" changes in almost all biopsies obtained from four different muscles: increased fiber size variation, internal nuclei, small angulated fibers, pyknotic nuclear clumps, and predominant type 2 fiber atrophy. Quantitative morphometry in 18 biopsies that were immunostained for myosin heavy chain confirmed a predominance of nonselective type 2 fiber atrophy. These histological changes were similar in all patients regardless of the site of biopsy, the predominant clinical symptoms and signs, and the clinical course. It is likely that, in a number of undiagnosed patients, DM2 is the underlying disorder. With a better understanding of the histopathological pattern in DM2, biopsies from patients with undiagnosed neuromuscular disorders can now be reevaluated. 相似文献

Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a multisystem degenerative disorder with distinctive clinical and electrophysiological features. Recently, genetic confirmation has become available with the identification of the molecular defect, an expansion of a CCTG repeat located in intron 1 of the zinc finger protein 9 (ZNF9) gene. We present two first-degree relatives with an athletic clinical phenotype, pathological evidence of subsarcolemmal vacuolation, and molecular genetic confirmation of DM2. When found in the proper clinical context, athleticism and pathological subsarcolemmal vacuoles should not dissuade the clinician from the possible diagnosis of DM2. 相似文献

Introduction: The role of skeletal muscle biopsy is established; however, to our knowledge, no study has systematically evaluated the utility of a repeat biopsy. Methods: This study was a retrospective clinicopathologic review of 66 patients (mean age 38.1 years, 39 men) with at least 1 repeat muscle biopsy obtained between February 1992 and November 2011. Clinical data determined how results of the subsequent biopsy impacted patient management. Results: Repeat biopsy yielded a definitive diagnosis in 16 of 66 patients (24%). In the remaining patients, a repeat study provided clinically useful information or directly answered the clinical question (n = 30, 45%) by excluding a differential consideration (n = 19), supporting treatment continuation (n = 8), prompting treatment change (n = 1), confirming the original diagnosis (n = 1), or establishing a likely diagnosis (n = 1). Conclusion: Repeat muscle biopsy plays a role in the evaluation of patients with suspected myopathy in certain clinical circumstances. Muscle Nerve 47: 835–839, 2013 相似文献

To characterize and compare electrical myotonia in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2), 16 patients with genetically confirmed DM1 and 17 patients with DM2 underwent standardized concentric needle electromyography of deltoid, biceps, extensor digitorum communis, first dorsal interosseous, tensor fascia lata (TFL), vastus lateralis (VL), tibialis anterior, and thoracic paraspinal muscles. Eight needle insertions per muscle were made by electromyographers blinded to DM type who recorded the presence and type of myotonia (e.g., classic waxing-waning or less specific waning discharges). Manual muscle testing was performed by a physical therapist. Overall, myotonia was more elicitable in DM1 than DM2; only in VL and TFL was myotonia more elicitable in DM2 than DM1. The major type of myotonia was waxing-waning in DM1, and waning in DM2. Four DM2 (24%), but no DM1 patients had only waning myotonia. In the arms, myotonia was distally predominant in both DM1 and DM2. In the legs, it was distally predominant in DM1, but both proximal and distal in DM2. The severity of myotonia was positively correlated with muscle weakness and with the presence of waxing and waning discharges in DM1, but with neither in DM2. Thus, myotonia is qualitatively and quantitatively different in DM1 than DM2. Except for proximal leg muscles, myotonia is more evocable in DM1 than DM2. It tends to be waxing-waning in DM1 but waning in DM2, thus making electrodiagnosis of DM2 more challenging. Its severity correlates with muscle weakness and the presence of waxing-waning discharges in DM1 but not DM2. 相似文献

Abstract.
Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 19 German patients with genetically proven myotonic dystrophy Type 1 (DM1, n = 10) or Type 2 (DM2, n = 9) showed pathological findings consisting of white matter lesions (WML) and/or brain atrophy in 9/10 DM1 and 8/9 DM2 patients. Anterior temporal WML (ATWML) were exclusively seen in DM1 patients. Our findings indicate a high frequency of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in both disorders. However, temporopolar pathology, previously associated with intellectual dysfunction, seems to be restricted to DM1. 相似文献

Introduction: Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with (CCTG)n repeat expansion in intron 1 of the CNBP gene. Methods: We studied the first 16 Greek DM2 patients who had undergone thorough evaluation. Results: The age at diagnosis ranged from 38 to 69 years. The initial symptoms were proximal weakness, myalgias, and myotonia. Clinical myotonia was elicited in 10 patients, whereas electromyographic myotonic discharges were observed in almost all patients. Subcapsular cataract was frequently present, but cardiac arrhythmias were rare. Conclusions: In this study of Greek DM2 patients, proximal weakness was the most common initial symptom. Myalgias were also reported in a few patients, yet myotonia was not a major complaint. Although DM2 is considered relatively benign, there are patients who may be affected severely. Thus, a high index of suspicion must be maintained to make a timely diagnosis, especially in those of reproductive age. Muscle Nerve 51 :686–691, 2015 相似文献

Combinations of different techniques can increase the diagnostic yield from neurophysiological examination of muscle. In 25 patients with suspected inflammatory myopathy, we prospectively performed needle electromyography (EMG) and measured muscle-fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) in a single muscle, using a technique with direct muscle-fiber stimulation and recording. Results of MFCV were compared with final diagnosis, EMG, and needle muscle biopsy. Diagnostic accuracy of combined MFCV and EMG studies was 72%, compared to 60% for EMG alone. This improvement was due to a gain in specificity. The MFCV did not prove useful in discriminating inflammatory myopathy from other myopathies. Furthermore, we found a correlation of 92% between variability of MFCV and myopathic changes in muscle biopsy. We conclude that the utility of electrodiagnostic examination can be increased if EMG examination is combined with MFCV studies. 相似文献

Background: Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder caused by CCTG repeat expansions within intron 1 of the ZNF9 gene on chromosome 3q. Cardiac conduction disturbances, supraventricular arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathy are described in DM2 but Brugada‐like features have not yet been reported. Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetically heterogeneous cardiac conduction disorder which is characterized by a significant ST‐segment elevation upon ECG evaluations and bears an increased risk for sudden cardiac death. Case reports: We report two unrelated patients with genetically confirmed DM2 who developed clinical relevant cardiac arrhythmias with syncopal events from 35 (patient 1) and 47 years (patient 2). Brugada‐like ECG findings were present in both patients. Family history was negative for BS, but the mothers of both index patients were also affected by DM2 and had different ventricular rhythm disturbances. SCN5A gene sequencing revealed an unknown genetic variant c.4140 C > A, p.N1380K, in patient 1, while no mutation was detected in patient 2. Discussion: Our observations may suggest that Brugada‐like cardiac arrhythmias can occur in DM2, as this seems also to be the case in DM1. The chance association of two independent inherited disorders has to be considered and cannot be excluded in one of our patients. However, on statistical grounds, this possibility cannot explain all observed cases of DM with Brugada‐like cardiac disease. 相似文献
