Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM Carmignac et al. (2007) reported 5 patients from 2 consanguineous families of Moroccan and Sudanese origin, respectively, with congenital myopathy and fatal dilated cardiomyopathy. All patients showed delayed motor development with symmetric, generalized muscle weakness predominantly of proximal ...
Molecular genetics OMIM By linkage analysis, followed by candidate gene sequencing, Carmignac et al. (2007) identified 2 different homozygous deletions in the TTN gene (188840.0012 and 188840.0013, respectively) in affected members of 2 unrelated families with early-onset myopathy and fatal cardiomyopathy. ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Salih myopathy is characterized clinically by the following:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Salih myopathy is characterized by muscle weakness manifest during the neonatal period or in early infancy, and delayed motor development. Children acquire independent walking between age 20 months and four years. In the first decade of life, global motor performances are stable or tend to improve. During this period skeletal muscle involvement mainly manifests as difficulty in running, climbing stairs, and rising up from the sitting position. Those who survive childhood remain ambulant, with or without support, and maintain normal cognitive function....
