X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy is a rare inherited disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of autophagic vacuoles in skeletal muscle. We present four male patients with an extremely severe form of this disease, requiring permanent mechanical ventilation from birth and leading to death at early ages. A novel synonymous variant in VMA21 was identified as the cause of this phenotype.
X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy is a rare inherited disease characterized by aberrant accumulation of autophagic vacuoles in skeletal muscle. Affected males usually show a slow progression and the heart is characteristically spared. We present four male patients from the same family with an extremely aggressive form of this disease, requiring permanent mechanical ventilation from birth. Ambulation was never achieved. Three died, one in the first hour of life, one at 7 years and one at 17 years, the last death being a consequence of heart failure. Muscle biopsy showed pathognomonic features of the disease in the 4 affected males. Genetic study found a novel synonymous variant in VMA21 , c.294C > T (Gly98 = ). Genotyping was consistent with co-segregation with the phenotype in an X-linked recessive manner. An alteration of the normal splice pattern was confirmed by transcriptome analysis, proving that the apparently synonymous variant was the cause of this extremely severe phenotype. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier B.V.
