Myopathy due to calsequestrin and SERCA1 protein overload(VMCQA)

MedGen UID:: 864061
•Concept ID:: C4015624
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonym:	Myopathy, vacuolar, with casq1 aggregates
Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal dominant inheritance MedGen UID: 141047 •Concept ID: C0443147 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Unknown inheritance MedGen UID: 989040 •Concept ID: CN307042 • Finding Source: Orphanet Hereditary clinical entity whose mode of inheritance is unknown.

Definition

Vacuolar myopathy with CASQ1 aggregates is an autosomal dominant mild muscle disorder characterized by adult onset of muscle cramping and weakness as well as increased levels of serum creatine kinase (CK). The disorder is not progressive, and some patients may be asymptomatic (summary by Rossi et al., 2014). [from OMIM]
