*Hi 2012! This trans was made from scratch because the 2011 supplementary CD doesn’t have a softcopy of this trans (they have the filename but if u try to open it, different content)! But we are confident about this trans. Medyo tinoxic namin ‘to! Happy reading! Swerte ng Jolly B’s na magttrans nito! Hehe libre nyo kami. Haha!
I. IntroductionSkeletal Muscle
75% water 20% protein 5% others: high-energy phosphates, urea, lactic acid,
Ca, Mg, P, enzymes, amino acids, lipids and carbohydrates
Myopathies a neuromuscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function for any one of many reasons, resulting in muscular weakness primary defect is within the muscle (vs. neuropathy)
II. Classification of Myopathies (Appendix A)
A. Hereditary Myopathies1. Congenital Myopathy
A clinically, genetically and pathologically heterogeneous disorder defined by the presence of particular histological features
Onset is often at birth or early childhood (~7 years old)
Floppy infant with variable hypotonia Long “myopathic” face is a common feature CNS and peripheral nerves are not usually
involved Normal intelligence Generally non-progressive Diaphragmatic involvement may be
disproportionate to overall muscle weakness Inheritance: AR, AD or X-linked CK are usually normal or slightly elevated Treatment: supportive
*Classification is based on histologic features (muscle biopsy is therefore needed for diagnosis): a. Central Core Disease
- Gene: Ryanodine receptor (RyR1)- associated with malignant hyperthermia
b. Centronuclear/Myotubular Myopathy- Gene: Myotubularin (MTM1) X-linked
Dynamin (DNM2) AR
c. Nemaline Myopathy- Gene: ACTA1*, nebulin, a-tropomyosin, b-
tropomyosin, slow troponin T
d. Congenital Fiber Type Disproportion- Gene: ACTA1*
* same gene but different location of mutation
Figure 1. Different Types of Congenital Myopathy Based on Histology. (A. Central Core Disease, B. Centronuclear Myopathy, C. Nemaline Myopathy, D. Congenital Fiber Type Disproportion)
2. Muscular Dystrophy First described by Nattrass in 1954 It is a heterogeneous group of inherited primary
diseases of the muscle, clinically characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting.
Histologically, it is unified by the presence of necrotic and regenerating processes, often associated with an increased amount of connective and adipose tissues
TYPES:a. Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD)
First described by Batten in 1903 A group of clinically heterogeneous AR
inherited muscle diseases Characterized by hypotonia at birth,
generalized muscle weakness, frequently multiple contractures
Muscle Biopsy: necrotic and regenerating process
The clinical spectrum ranges from a very severe form, often resulting in early infant death, to relatively mild conditions, where the patient survives into adulthood
CK could range from normal to marked elevation
Figure 2. CNS Involvement in CMD. Take note that CNS involvement is not an absolute characteristic of CMD.
b. DystrophinopathiesDuchene Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Most common Sex - linked recessive disorder (Xp21) mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin (400kD) Clinical Features:

1. Early signs - starts at age 3 to 5 years - Pelvic girdle weakness (waddling gait, frequent falls, difficulty climbing stairs, awkward running)
- Pseudohypertrophy of calf muscles - (+) Gowers’ sign2. Later signs - 10 to 14 yrs old
- relentless progression & involvement of shoulder girdle muscles
- Scoliosis & thoracic deformity- Inability to ambulate- at 20 to 25 yrs old - respiratory failure usual
endpoint in DMD; but because of advancement in ventilation technology, cardiac failure is now the common endpoint
Diagnosis: 1. Genetic studies - Multiplex PCR- detect dystrophin gene deletion in 60 % of cases - MLPA- detect deletion and duplication, more sensitive than multiplex PCR 2. Immunohistochemical stain for dystrophin – negative
Treatment: 1. NOT YET AVAILABLE 2. Temporary stabilization with steroids 3. Gene therapy to date is not possible
Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) Milder form of DMD (milder weakness) Sex - linked recessive disorder (Xp21), allelic 1 in 30,000 male births Partial deletion of the gene coding for dystrophin
(vs. complete deletion in DMD) Dystrophin is partially present , muscle membrane
is semi – functional Clinical Features:
1. Later onset of muscle weakness at slower rate 2. Ambulatory up to adult life 3. Cardiac abnormality may be seen but mental retardation is rare

Figure 4. Diagnostic Algorithm between DMD and BMD. Notice that both DMD and BMD have dystrophin gene deletion but BMD has partial deletion only (kaya may patches pa of dystrophin sa histo). So that’s why you need muscle biopsy to differentiate the two (gets?)
c. Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy A group of phenotypically and genetically
heterogeneous disorder Weakness of the proximal muscles in the upper
and lower extremities 18 different gene locus identified:
Type 1- AD Type 2- AR
LGMD 2A- Calpainopathy fiber size variation endomysial fibrosis – increase CT
surrounding muscle cell lobulated fibers
LGMD 2B- Dysferlinopathy (-) dysferlin in diseased muscle
cells
* Tyoe 2 is most common. Calpainopathy can only be diagnosed with genetic screening. Dysferlinopathy can now be diagnosed immunohistichemically by the absence of dysferlin in diseased muscle cells* Dysferlin is a protein linked with skeletal muscle repair. Absence is characterized with muscle weakness and wasting.
3. Myotonia Dystrophica multisystem disease (muscle, heart, eye, endocrine
system & CNS) sustained muscle contraction; failure of relaxation close eyes or hands see if he can open eyes or
hands immediately Histo: lots of nuclei in center indicates immature
fiber (normal: peripheral/subsarcomeral), chained nuclei, pale peripheral region (ring binden fiber), type1 fiber hypotrophy (DARKER colored due to lots of mitochondria) mas maliit size ng fiber
Charcteristics:WeaknessMyotonia (sustained muscle contraction)CataractsCardiac arrhythmia Frontal balding
TYPES: (based on weakness pattern distribution) Type I

• Proximal > distal• Facial muscle rarely involved• CCTG repeat expansion in ZNF9 gene (Chromosome
3)• AD
4. Channelopathies• Mutations in the genes encoding the proteins of the
ion channels of the sarcolemma, SR and T-tubules disrupt the normal transport of ions, in particular, Na+, K+, Cl- and Ca2+
• Clinically falls into 2 groups: those with myotonia and those with paralysis
• Appendix 1: Ion Channel Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle. REMEMBER: Becker Syndrome lang ang AR! All the rest are AD!
TYPES:a. Sodium Channel Diseases:
Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis Paralytic episodes usually at rest after physical
excercise. During attack, areflexia, [K+] > 6mM, signs of hyperkalemia in ECG Tx: acetazolamide and thiazide diuretics (excrete
excess K)
Paramyotonia Congenita: Paradoxical myotonia, increasing muscle stiffness
with physical exercise, worsening of myotonia by cold, weakness after exposure to cold.
Tx: acetazolamide, mexiletine and salbutamol
Potassium-aggravated myotonia : Muscle stiffness without weakness and cold
sensitivity.
b. Calcium Channel Diseases (all are PRIMARY diseases- genetic)Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Characterized by prolonged (days/ weeks)and severe bouts of weakness weakness is due to the decrease in serum K+ (hindi makalabas sa cell) therefore there is a decrease in action potential
Precipitated by rest after a period of exercise or stress Tx: oral potassium supplements, acetazolamide
Malignant Hyperthermia Dramatic and often fatal condition characterized by
rapid and sustained rise in Temp during generalized anesthesia associated with generalized muscle rigidity, tachycardia, tachypnea and cyanosis
Severe respiratory and metabolic acidosis Extensive muscle necrosis with subsequent
myoglobinuria and renal shutdown CK =/>50,000IU/L with elevated serum K+
QUESTION: Why is Hyper- and Hypo-kalemic Periodic Paralysis under sodium and calcium channel diseases, respectively?ANSWER: Kasi daw K+ can pass through those channels made up of calcium and sodium. The problem is with calcium and sodium. Ung K+ ay effect na lang of that disorder (thus, the name hyper- and hypo-kalemic). According to ma’am din, it is not that well understood pa.
c. Myotonia Congenita Gene mutation (encoding chloride channel) Characteristics:
- Myotonia - Muscle stiffness- warm-up phenomenon- increased muscle
strength with decreased activity- Muscle hypertrophy
“- herculean” appearanceTYPES:
Thomsen’s disease: AD inheritance, generalized Becker’s disease: AR inheritance; more of lower ex
Mitochondrial Diseases Maternally inherited Clinically heterogenous Onset may vary from birth to adulthood Course may be rapidly progressive, static or even
reversible Distribution of weakness may be generalized with
respiratory failure or proximal more than distal, and may involve facial muscles with associated ptosis and progressive external ophthalmoplegia
Serum and CSF lactate level may be increased
5. Mitochondrial Myopathy Mitochondrial myopathy, Lactic acid and
stroke-like symptoms (MELAS)- can be a differential diagnosis for stroke
because of the ‘stroke-like’ symptoms: sudden weakness in 1 side; normal labs
Myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red fiber (MERRF)
- cereballar atrophy Chronic Progressive External
Ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) Kearns Sayre Syndrome (KSS): retinitis
pigmentosa, PEO and heart block
*RAGGED RED FIBER is present in all types of mitochondrial myopathy! This indicates an abnormal mitochondria
Figure 5. Modified Trichrome Gomori stain: Ragged red fibers are the small patches of red stain surrounding and inside the muscle fiber.
6. Metabolic MyopathyGlycogenosis
breakdown of glycogen is an important source of energy in muscle
defect in any steps in the glycolytic pathway can cause muscle fatigue, cramps, or rhabdomyolysis, which is an important indicator of several metabolic problems
Acid Maltase Deficiency 3 main clinical types: severe infantile
(Pompe’s), juvenile and adult onset Pompe’s disease (most common): usually fatal
in infancy affecting the liver, heart, skeletal muscles, CNS and kidneys
Severe hypotonia Tx: enzyme replacements (Genzyme) ONLY
metabolic disease with treatment! Patho: lots of vacuoles with basophilic materials Tx effect could be toxic myopathy (but don’t
deny Tx) monitor CK level and glycogen
