The clinical features of 37 patients from 32 Israeli families with congenital myopathies evaluated between 1983 and 2004 are described: 13 children were diagnosed with congenital fiber type disproportion, 10 had myotubular myopathy, 7 had nemaline myopathy, 5 had central core disease, 1 had actin myopathy, and 1 had multi-minicore disease. There were 7 families (22%) that had parental consanguinity, and 4 families (12%) had more than 1 patient with congenital myopathy. Of the patients, 31 (84…

The Spectrum of Muscle Disorders Diagnosed at King Hussein Medical Center : An 8 Year Experience
TLDR
The largest groups of patients were diagnosed to with dystrophy, followed by inflammatory myositis and neurogenic muscular atrophy, which are frequently encountered at King Hussein Medical Center practice.
Diagnostic approach of floppy infants: a study in Fayoum University Hospital, Egypt
TLDR
SMA represents the most common neuromuscular cause of floppy infants in this study, followed by congenital myopathy, and EMG is considered a cheap diagnostic tool and provides a good clue for the next step for diagnosis.
Myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2.
A Fatal Case of Cor Pulmonale with Undetected Chronic Hypoventilation in an Infant with a Known Congenital Myopathy
TLDR
This case highlights the risk for fatal complications if hypoventilation and respiratory insufficiency go unrecognized in myopathic children, and recommends respiratory and cardiac monitoring surveillance as well as appropriate referral to specialists in the management of such children.
Use of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP INTEND) in X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy: Content Validity and Psychometric Performance
TLDR
Data established construct validity and reliability of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders among XLMTM patients before administration of resamirigene bilparvovec, and sensitivity to study drug administration as evidenced by the significant post-administration response in ASPIRO.
Orthognathic surgery in primary myopathies: severe case of congenital fiber type disproportion with long-term follow-up and review of the literature.

Nemaline myopathy: A clinical study of 143 cases
TLDR
Arthrogryposis, neonatal respiratory failure, and failure to achieve early motor milestones were associated with early mortality, and aggressive early management is warranted in most cases of congenital nemaline myopathy.
Early predictors of poor outcome in congenital fiber-type disproportion myopathy.
TLDR
The study shows that the presence of the above constellation of signs at birth or in early infancy is a predictor of a high rate of mortality in infancy and poor developmental outcome in the survivors.
Congenital Fiber Type Disproportion—30 Years On
TLDR
The relatively homogeneous phenotype supports the retention of CFTD as a distinct diagnostic entity and familial occurrence suggests a genetic basis.
Genotype–phenotype correlations in X-linked myotubular myopathy
Nemaline myopathy in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is caused by a deletion in the nebulin gene
TLDR
This study has revealed that five NM patients from five families bear an identical 2,502-bp deletion that lies in the nebulin gene and that includes exon 55 and parts of introns 54 and 55.
Central core disease: clinical, pathological, and genetic features
TLDR
Clinicians should be aware of this disorder because of the potential risk of MH, and future laboratory diagnosis of suspected cases and family members will be less invasive and more accurate with DNA analysis.

TLDR
It is to be expected that other congenital myopathy marked by inclusion bodies may turn out to be such protein aggregate myopathies, depending on analysis of individual proteins within these protein aggregates and their association with putative gene mutations.

TLDR
The principle “from morphology, that is, immunohistochemistry, to molecular analysis” through recognition of certain accrued proteins within muscle fibers and subsequent analysis of their respective genes has resulted in a wealth of genetic data and in reconsidering classification and nosologic interpretation of certain congenital myopathies.
