Symbol : MEAX;
CISMeF acronym : MEAX; XMEA;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : XMEA;
Description : Sugie et al. (2005) classified X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA) as
a form of autophagic vacuolar myopathy, characterized by intracytoplasmic autophagic
vacuoles with sarcolemmal features. Danon disease (300257), caused by mutation in
the LAMP2 gene (309060) on chromosome Xq24, is a distinct disorder with similar pathologic
features.;
Inheritance : X-linked recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the homolog of the S. cerevisiae VMA21 gene (VMA21, 300913.0001);
