Mondo Description Muscle filaminopathy is a rare myofibrillar myopathy characterized by slowly progressive, proximal skeletal muscle weakness, which is initially more prominent in lower extremities and involves upper extremities with disease progression. Patients present with difficulty climbing stairs, a waddling gait, marked winging of scapula, lower back pain, paresis of limb girdle musculature, hypo-/areflexia and/or mild facial muscle weakness in rare cases. Respiratory muscle weakness is common and cardiac anomalies (conduction blocks, tachycardia, diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy) have been reported in some cases.
Uniprot Description A form of myofibrillar myopathy, a group of chronic neuromuscular disorders characterized at ultrastructural level by disintegration of the sarcomeric Z disk and myofibrils, and replacement of the normal myofibrillar markings by small dense granules, or larger hyaline masses, or amorphous material. MFM5 is characterized by onset in adulthood, clinical features of a limb-girdle myopathy, and focal myofibrillar destruction.
