Centronuclear Myopathy

Atrophy of muscle fibres due to myofibres remodelling

Symptoms
Skeletal muscle atrophy, severe muscle weakness, exercise intolerance

Gene involved
PTPLA

Mutation tested
c.191_192ins236b

Transmission mode : Autosomal recessive

Publication : Pelé et al. (2005). SINE exonic insertion in the PTPLA gene leads to multiple splicing defects and segregates with the autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy in dogs.

Gene involved

Mutation tested
c.962+1309A>G

Transmission mode : Autosomal recessive

Publication : Böhm et al. (2013). Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy.
