Congenital myopathy
Gene: ACTN2
As reviewed by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics), there is only one case with evidence of congenital onset of myopathy. But, we should note that the onset of symptoms in some congenital myopathies can be in childhood, even in late childhood. Hence, there are two unrelated cases and supporting functional evidence available to support the Green rating for this gene.
The biallelic cases are reported with distal myopathy (MIM #618655). Hence, the MOI should still remain as monoallelic in this panel.Created: 26 Apr 2023, 10:18 a.m. | Last Modified: 26 Apr 2023, 10:18 a.m.

Gene causes a number of phenotypes. Evidence for congenital onset of myopathy is limited to one family. Second family proband described as having onset in childhood with physical difference noticed at 7 years old, later progressing to muscle atrophy and facial weakness at 40 years old. More recent report of another three families, but all with adult onset disease.Created: 10 Jun 2020, 8:37 p.m. | Last Modified: 10 Jun 2020, 8:37 p.m.

2 variants in this gene found in 2 unrelated families were presented as oral communication the World Muscle society meeting in Argentina. the functional data presented would suggest that variants in this gene are disease causing. this result is now published Acta Neuropathol. 2019 Mar;137(3):501-519.Created: 30 May 2019, 4:32 p.m.
