Autosomal recessive Hypotonia & muscle weakness at birth. Contractures Syndromic  multiple systems with brain malformations and developmental delay Non syndromic  muscular disease without cerebral involvement Merosin (laminin α2) in extracellular matrix  linking protein for dystroglycan complex

alpha dystroglycan

Genetic defects that disrupt post-translational modification of alpha dystroglycan







Multiple systems, brain malformations and developmental delay CNS : disturbed cellular migration to cortex  polymicrogyria, lissencephaly and heterotopia Fused frontal lobes, hydrocephalus, periventricular cyst, optic nerve atrophy, pyramidal tract hypoplasia, AHC↓, leptomeningitis

CK ↑ at birth and then ↓ CK ↑ in asymptomatic family members



EMG : myopathy

Biopsy : Fibres vary in size with central nucleation, fibrosis and adipose proliferation Regenerating and degenerating fibres Molecular genetic analysis T2 MRI : white matter hypomyelination of occipital horns. periventricular White-matter changes Structural occipital cortex disturbances

25% prev H/O spontaneous abortion Poor fetal movements. At birth hypotonia, expressionless face, weak suck and cry. Proximal muscles >distal Elbow and knee contractures. Absent DTR. 50% calf pseudohypertrophy 2-8 yr, can sit never stand 10 yr DCM and CHF Progressive weakness and respiratory failure, die in the mid teens. CNS: Seizures occur in 50% usually 1st manifestation Global delayed development, microcephaly, severe retardation Eye: Mild : ↓movements, poor pursuit, strabismus. Severe : retinal detachment, microphthalmos, cataracts, myopia.

Neonatal hypotonia, developmental delay, and ocular Severe: can’t sit, no visual contact, die 1-2 yr. Moderate: sit, speak few words. severe myopia Mildly : walk short time, speak sentences, vision normal. EYE : optic.N hypoplasia, coloboma, glaucoma, cataract, and retinal detachment CNS: Seizures & mental retardation. Mild : cerebellar cysts, vermal hypoplasia, and flat pons Severe : Similar to fukayama. Absent corpus callosum, obstructive hydrocephalus

Most severe Similar to MEB Hypotonia, poor suck and swallow,contractures. Requiring gastrostomy feeding. Progressive with death in 9 mo. CK↑ EMG myopathy Proliferating adipose tissue and collagen out of proportion to fibre degeneration Posterior fossa abnormalities hypoplastic brainstem.

spinal rigidity and scoliosis. Present at birth or within first year proximal weakness and hypotonia. Most eventually walk Scapular winging and facial and bulbar weakness. contractures at 3-10 yr. Respiratory insufficiency. FVC 18-65% Ventilatory assistance to treat nocturnal hypoventilation. Normal Intelligence and brain MRI. cardiac system is are normal.

•Complete merosin deficit •Severe hypotonia •Contractures,scoliosis •Abn white matter signal 4 mo •IQ normal •Seizures •Poor feeding •Respiratory difficulties •Onset : birth •Walk :never •Die :10 yr

Medical history, physical examination, neurologic examination, family history, neuroimaging, serum CK , and muscle biopsy Family history: congenital weakness or neonatal death Physical examination : ocular abnormalities (fukuyama CMD, MEB, WWS) MRI: Syndromic brain malformations/abnormal neuronal migration Merosin deficiency benign white matter changes

Disease

Serum CK (norma l 35160 µ/L)

Muscle biopsy

Immunostain

Fukuyama

Fiber size variation 2-15x Increased connective tissue Central nuclei

Fukutin: deficient Glycosylated alpha dystroglycan: deficient Beta dystroglycan: normal

MEB

Increased number of regenerating fibers seen by age one year 2-15x Muscle biopsy shows dystrophic changes, with excess infiltration of fat and connective tissue by age one year

Partial reduction of merosin Partial reduction of glycosylated alpha dystroglycan Increase in laminin beta 2

WWS

2-15 Myopathic

Merosin: normal or reduced Glycosylated alpha dystroglycan: deficient Beta dystroglycan: normal

Disease

RSS

Ullrich

Serum CK

Muscle biopsy

Immunostain

Variable fiber size Occasional necrotic fibers Normal Merosin: normal Minimally increased endomysial connective tissue Fiber size variation 2-3x Necrotic fibers Mild endomysial fibrosis

Merosin: normal COL6: severely reduced

Disease

Complete merosin deficiency

Serum CK (normal 35-160 µ/L)

Markedly elevated

Partial merosin deficiency Markedly elevated

Merosin-positive

Moderately high

Muscle biopsy Neonatal: inflammatory changes End stage: dystrophic changes loss of staining for laminin-α2 & α-dystroglycan Childhood: variable fiber size Increased endomysial connective tissue no necrosis. Partial staining for laminin-α2 Myopathic changes (mild necrosis, regeneration, and fatty replacement)

PRENATAL TESTING direct and flash-frozen chorionic villi at about 10-12 weeks' gestation by immunostaining both accurate and sensitive molecular testing for mutations (that have been previously identified in proband Fukuyama, MEB, WWS, type 1C 1D, RSS DNA fetal cells obtained by amniocentesis at about 15-18 weeks CVS at about 10-12 weeks Both disease-causing alleles of an affected family member must be identified before prenatal testing Preimplanation genetic diagnosis may be available for families in which the disease-causing mutations have been identified

Other Problems to Be Considered Congenital myopathy Congenital myotonic dystrophy Congenital fascioscapulohumeral dystrophy Congenital myasthenic syndromes Leukodystrophies Mitochondrial myopathies Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndromes for UCMD

No definitive treatment. Weight control Prevent and correct scoliosis, foot deformities, and contractures, Passive stretching, bracing, spinal fusion Seizure management, gastric tube feedings, ophthalmologic care Social and emotional support and stimulation

Pulmonary complications : monitoring with noninvasive bilevel positive airwaY pressure/CPAP Tracheostomy DCM : ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers
