Preferred Label : Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy;
Symbol : NLSDM;
CISMeF acronym : NLSDM;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Neutral lipid storage disease without ichthyosis;
Description : Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy is an autosomal recessive muscle disorder
characterized by adult onset of slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness affecting
the upper and lower limbs and associated with increased serum creatine kinase; distal
muscle weakness may also occur. About half of patients develop cardiomyopathy later
in the disease course. Other variable features include diabetes mellitus, hepatic
steatosis, hypertriglyceridemia, and possibly sensorineural hearing loss. Leukocytes
and muscle cells show cytoplasmic accumulation of triglycerides (summary by Reilich
et al., 2011). Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy belongs to a group of disorders
termed neutral lipid storage disorders (NLSDs). These disorders are characterized
by the presence of triglyceride-containing cytoplasmic droplets in leukocytes and
in other tissues, including bone marrow, skin, and muscle. Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome
(CDS; 275630) is defined as NLSD with ichthyosis (NLSDI). Patients with NLSDM present
with myopathy but without ichthyosis (summary by Fischer et al., 2007).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 2 gene
(PNPLA2, 609059.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Increased serum creatine kinase; Abnormal liver enzymes; Increased serum triglycerides (in some patients); Accumulation of neutral lipids (triglycerides) in leukocytes, muscle cells, fibroblasts,
and cardiomyocytes; Lipid vacuoles in leukocytes (Jordan bodies);
