" /> Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy - CISMeF





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);

Prefixed ID : #610717;
