Muscle fiber hyaline bodies

MedGen UID:

Concept ID:
C4022155
Anatomical Abnormality
Synonym: Muscle fibre hyaline bodies
 
HPO: HP:0100306

Definition

Subsarcolemmal, eosinophilic glass-like regions in the cytoplasm of muscle fibers. Hyaline bodies show significant reactivity to myofibrillar ATPase after acid pre-incubation and with immunohistochemistry, show intense reactivity with only slow myosin heavy chain. Electron microscopy of the affected areas show a lack of myofibrils and a uniform, finely granular matrix, sometimes suggesting a filamentous nature, containing few scattered nuclei and mitochondria. [from HPO]

Disease or Syndrome
Autosomal recessive myosin storage congenital myopathy-7B (CMYP7B) is a skeletal muscle disorder characterized by the onset of scapuloperoneal muscle weakness in early childhood or young adulthood. Affected individuals have difficulty walking, steppage gait, and scapular winging due to shoulder girdle involvement. The severity and progression of the disorder is highly variable, even within families. Most patients develop respiratory insufficiency, nocturnal hypoventilation, and restrictive lung disease; some develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Additional features include myopathic facies, high-arched palate, scoliosis, and muscle wasting with thin body habitus. Serum creatine kinase may be normal or elevated. Skeletal muscle biopsy shows variable findings, including myosin storage disease, type 1 fiber predominance, centralized nuclei, and multiminicore disease (Onengut et al., 2004; Tajsharghi et al., 2007; Beecroft et al., 2019). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of congenital myopathy, see CMYP1A (117000).
