Congenital myopathy
Gene: MLIP
Comment on classification of this gene: The rating for this gene should be GREEN, as this gene has been implicated in congenital myopathy, as identified from biallelic variants from ten unrelated cases from multiple ethnicities and supported by results from functional studies from human tissue samples and mouse models.
Seven patients from six families carrying six different biallelic (either homozygous or compound heterozygous) variants in MLIP gene were presented with a consistent phenotype including mild muscle weakness, exercise-induced muscle pain, variable susceptibility to episodes of rhabdomyolysis, and persistent basal elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) levels. The age of onset of symptoms ranged from 8 months to 7 years (PMID:34581780).
Five individuals from two different pedigrees carrying two different novel homozygous nonsense variants were reported with myopathy characterized by hyperCKemia and with absence of rhabdomyolysis. The age of onset of symptoms for the single patient from family 1 is 2.5 years. All four individuals (age ranges from 24 to 37) from family 2 (Amish ancestry) were reported either with Sinus arrhythmia or Sinus bradycardia. It was also found that there is founder effect for this allele in the Amish population in the resident county of these individuals (PMID:34935254). Another patient harbouring a nonsense homozygous variant was reported with an adult-onset myopathy since the age of 50 after presenting poor sports performance since childhood and without any cardiac involvement (PMID:35672413). Similarly, an 80 year old patient with homozygous variant was also reported with progressive muscle disease and myocardiopathy was absent despite his age (PMID:35915960).
The expression of MLIP was identified to be reduced in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, as studied from LV samples from patients with terminal-stage heart failure. In addition, deletion of MLIP gene accelerated progress from hypertrophy to heart failure in several cardiomyopathy models and overexpression prevented pathologic remodelling and preserved cardiac function (PMID:26436652). MLIP has also been identified as a regulator of myoblast differentiation (PMID:33802236) and myonuclear positioning (PMID:32719146).
MLIP has now been associated with myopathy in OMIM (#620138).Created: 11 Dec 2022, 9:17 p.m. | Last Modified: 11 Dec 2022, 9:17 p.m.
