Clinical Description OMIM Schuelke et al. (2004) described a child, offspring of a healthy woman who was a former professional athlete, who developed stimulus-induced myoclonus several hours after birth. He appeared extraordinarily muscular, with protruding muscles in his thighs and upper ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In a family in which the proband had gross muscle hypertrophy, Schuelke et al. (2004) identified homozygosity for a splice donor site mutation in the MSTN gene (601788.0001). His mother was heterozygous for the mutation, which was not ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is established by clinical findings of reduced subcutaneous fat pad thickness and increased muscle size in individuals with normal or increased muscle strength and an MSTN mutation identified on molecular genetic testing....
Clinical Description GeneReviews Clinical manifestations of myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy appear to be dependent on the amount of myostatin protein present. Therefore both heterozygotes and homozygotes can exhibit muscle hypertrophy. ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews No information is currently available as only one MSTN mutation associated with this phenotype has been identified....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews This MSTN mutation does not appear to be associated with myopathy or muscle weakness, thus allowing differentiation of myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy from muscular dystrophies with muscle hypertrophy, including:...
Management GeneReviews Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is not currently known to cause any medical complications. ...
