Congenital myopathy with tremor (MYOTREM) is a recently described disorder characterized by mild myopathy and a postural and intention tremor present since early infancy. MYOTREM is associated with pathogenic variants in MYBPC1 which encodes slow myosin-binding protein C, a sarcomere protein with regulatory and structural roles. Here, we describe a family with three generations of variably affected members exhibiting a novel variant in MYBPC1 (c.656 T > C, p.Leu219Pro). Among the unique features of affected family members is the persistence of tremor in sleep. We also present the first muscle magnetic resonance images for this disorder, and report muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration.
先天性肌病伴震颤(MYOTREM)是一种最近描述的疾病,其特征为轻度肌病和自婴儿早期起即存在的姿势性和意向性震颤。MYOTREM 与编码肌球蛋白结合蛋白 C 的 MYBPC1 的致病性变异相关,肌球蛋白结合蛋白 C 是一种具有调节和结构作用的肌节蛋白。在此,我们描述了一个三代均受影响的家族,该家族成员存在 MYBPC1 中的新型变异(c.656T>C,p.Leu219Pro)。受影响的家族成员的一个独特特征是震颤在睡眠中持续存在。我们还提供了这种疾病的首次肌肉磁共振图像,并报告了肌肉萎缩和脂肪浸润。
