Definition
Myopathies are diseases of skeletal muscle which are not caused by nerve disorders. These diseases cause the skeletal or voluntary muscles to become weak or wasted. Description There are many different types of myopathies, some of which are inherited, some inflammatory, and some caused by endocrine problems. Myopathies are rare and not usually fatal. Typically, effects are mild, largely causing muscle weakness and movement problems, and many are transitory. Only rarely will patients become dependent on a wheelchair. However, muscular dystrophy (which is technically a form of myopathy) is far more severe. Some types of this disease are fatal in early adulthood. Causes and symptoms Myopathies are usually degenerative, but they are sometimes caused by drug side effects, chemical poisoning , or a chronic disorder of the immune system. Genetic myopathies Among their many functions, genes are responsible for overseeing the production of proteins important in maintaining healthy cells. Muscle cells produce thousands of proteins. With each of the inherited myopathies, a genetic defect is linked to a lack of, or problem with, one of the proteins needed for normal muscle cell function. There are several different kinds of myopathy caused by defective genes:
  • Central core disease
  • Centronuclear (myotubular) myopathy
  • Myotonia congenita
  • Nemaline myopathy
  • Paramyotonia congenita
  • Periodic paralysis (hypokalemic and hyperkalemic forms)
  • Mitochondrial myopathies.

Muscular Dystrophies and Myopathies Myopathies are diseases of the muscles. They can be caused by an inherited genetic abnormality (as in muscular dystrophy) or an abnormality of the immune system (such as polymyositis). These disorders can develop at any time from birth through adulthood. University of Chicago neurologists have expertise in treating many different muscle diseases. There are many types of muscular dystrophy (MD). These diseases are classified according to the muscle groups involved and the age of onset. Some of these muscular dystrophies result in premature death; others may allow the person to live for decades with varying degrees of disability. Symptoms Muscular dystrophy is characterized by muscle weakness in various parts of the body, depending on the type of MD or myopathy. Muscle weakness progresses (worsens) over time. Initial symptoms usually develop gradually. Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on a comprehensive physical examination and sophisticated diagnostic tests. The effectiveness of therapy depends upon accurate diagnosis of the precise type of MD, so physicians here may use advanced diagnostic techniques such as genetic analysis and biopsy of muscle or nerve tissue to pinpoint the type of neuromuscular disease or myopathy. The state-of-the-art neurophysiology lab at the University of Chicago Hospitals provides a full array of diagnostic tests including electrodiagnostic studies. Treatment Adult patients receive care in a multidisciplinary clinic which is sponsored by the

Metabolic Myopathies
The muscle biopsy also helps to confirm some abnormalities of the lipid metabolism. In those cases the muscle biopsy is essentially normal except for the presence of abnormal lipid deposits in the majority of the fibers with oil-red-O stain. In both glycogen and lipid storage myopathies, quantitative measurement of the deficient enzyme will confirm the diagnosis.
There is no specific treatment for many of the metabolic muscle disorders. Once a particular defect is identified, attempts are made to instruct the patient to avoid precipitating factors. In some disorders, such as carnitine deficiency, a lipid myopathy, attempts have been made with variable success to treat the condition with oral carnitine.

Myopathies
Myopathy is a general term that implies disease of the muscle. Diseases of the muscle are usually characterized by weakness. The weakness tends to involve the proximal muscles of the limbs, that is the muscles closer to the body, and might also involve the neck muscles. Symptoms of myopathies are related to difficulties arising from the weakness of the proximal muscles. Patients complain about difficulties climbing up stairs, getting up from a chair, rising from a squatting position, combing hair, and reaching for high objects. Other symptoms that can be seen in certain myopathies include muscle tenderness, and in late stage chronic cases, muscle atrophy.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Overview The "myopathies" is the name given to a group of neuromuscular disorders that affect skeletal muscle , causing generalized muscular weakness among other symptoms. Literally, the word myopathy means "disease of the muscle" (myo=muscle; Gr. pathos=disease). Other types of myopathies are the inflammatory myopathies, the channelopathies, the metabolic myopathies, the mitochondrial myopathies, the dystrophic myopathies, and the non-dystrophic myopathies. Although all these myopathies affect skeletal muscle, the mechanisms that cause disease are different in each type. In the Beggs laboratory, we focus on a group of

    Frequently Asked Questions
    The congenital myopathies are rare disorders that result in muscle weakness of variable severity. Some patients are affected from birth, while others may develop symptoms in childhood or adulthood. Although patients with some types may not survive past the first few years of life, others may walk independently through adulthood and have families of their own. The diagnosis of congenital myopathies is usually made from a muscle biopsy. Sometimes, specific muscle changes such as rods or tubules are found in these biopsies. However, on occasions, the muscle biopsy of a patient with a congenital myopathy does not reveal specific changes that would help to establish a diagnosis. Our laboratory is interested in studying DNA and muscle biopsy samples of these patients since it would provide insight into the genetic cause of their muscular condition. Identification of these genes could have direct clinical benefit to patients and their families by allowing for specific diagnostic testing such as carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis for those who wish. Furthermore, understanding the genetic cause (s) of congenital myopathies will increase our understanding of muscle biology and provide insights into future development of specific treatments and therapies.

    Mitochondrial Myopathies
    February 2001 Written by Joanna Poulton, Reader and Honorary Consultant in Mitochondrial Genetics, Nuffield Dept Obstetrics and Gynaecology, The Womens Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford
    Prof.L.Bindoff,Dept.Neurology,Hauleland,Sykehus,Bergen,Norway What are mitochondrial myopathies? Mitochondrial myopathy is a collective term for a group of diseases that particularly affect muscle, but which may also affect every other part of the body including the brain and the eye. Other names for these diseases include: Kearns-Sayre Syndrome (KSS), Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like Episodes (MELAS), Myoclonus Epilepsy Associated With Ragged-Red Fibres (MERRF), Leigh's disease, and Mitochondrial Cytopathy. Why do I have it? Our bodies are made up of many different tissues, for example muscle, nerve, and liver. Each tissue is composed of small 'building blocks', called cells, and within each cell are small objects known as mitochondria. The job of these mitochondria is to produce energy. Just like a power generator, they take in fuel (the food we eat) and burn it up to generate energy. If this process fails, the cell cannot function adequately and this can lead to disease. Muscle and brain require a lot of energy, and are often the most severely affected.

    Ocular Myopathies
    June 2000 Written by Dr D.Hilton-Jones, Consultant Neurologist, Oxford for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign It has been recognised for many years that some patients with muscle disease have particular problems with the muscles around the eyes, although other parts of the body can also be involved. Whilst research is continuing, it appears that most of these patients have either oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) or mitochondrial chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). The main features of these disorders are discussed below. Some of the symptoms and signs are common to both disorders. Medical terms frequently used include: ptosis, external ophthalmoplegia, diplopia and dysphagia. Ptosis - this describes drooping of the eyelids due to weakness of the muscle that normally lifts up the eyelid. External ophthalmoplegia - this means weakness and restriction of muscle movement around the eye (external to the eye). It shows as slowness and incomplete range of movement of the eyes, and includes the eyelid muscle weakness that causes ptosis. These problems typically progress very slowly, hence the term 'chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia'.

    Myopathies Introduction
    Myopathies are defined as diseases of skeletal muscle and can have many causes. Accordingly, myopathies can present in a variety of ways, but one of the cardinal features is muscle weakness. Weakness can affect muscles of the eyes, face, arms, legs, trunk, swallowing, and breathing. While certain myopathies can present with muscle pains, cramps, and stiffness, these features are non-specific and can be seen in many other diseases, including those outside the realm of neuromuscular disorders. The most common myopathies seen in the Neuromuscular Center are inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophies, metabolic myopathies, myopathies associated with systemic disorders, and myopathies due to certain medications. Diagnosis
    Treatment
    The treatment of myopathies is multidisciplinary and depends on the type of myopathy. Certain types of myopathies can be treated with immune-suppressant agents and IVIG. Most myopathies require the use of supportive services, such as physical and occupational therapy, pulmonary medicine, cardiology, dietary management, and speech/swallowing therapists. Surgical treatment of spine and limb deformities is used in long-standing cases. Cleveland Clinic Home

Autoimmune myopathies are a group of diseases that involve inflammation of the muscles and may be associated with diseases of internal organs. Diseases affecting muscles include polymyositis, dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis. The main symptom is muscle weakness in the upper arms, upper legs and neck, muscle pain, fatigue, joint pain and swelling, rashes over the face and knuckles, fevers, swallowing difficulty and shortness of breath. CAUSE The cause of myopathies is unknown, but environmental factors (such as viral infections) and genetic predisposition are felt to be important in some cases. HEALTH IMPACT
    • Only about 1 new case per 100,000 is diagnosed each year. Myopathies occur two to three times more frequently in women than men. Severity of disease varies from a mild form with almost no symptoms to a severe, life-threatening disease.
    DIAGNOSIS Diagnosis is attained through a history and physical exam, certain laboratory tests, muscle biopsy and electromyography (a study of the electrical activity of muscle). Other diseases or conditions such as hypothyroidism, toxin exposure, drug reactions and genetic disorders may also affect muscles and need to be ruled out.

    Description of Myopathies
    There are many different types of myopathies, some of which are inherited, some inflammatory, and some caused by endocrine problems. Myopathies are rare and not usually fatal. Typically, effects are mild, largely causing muscle weakness and movement problems, and many are transitory. Only rarely will patients become dependent on a wheelchair. However, muscular dystrophy (which is technically a form of myopathy) is far more severe. Some types of this disease are fatal in early adulthood.
    Myopathies
    Myopathies are usually degenerative, but they are sometimes caused by drug side effects, chemical poisoning, or a chronic disorder of the immune system.
