Laing distal myopathy pathologically resembling inclusion body myositis.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in MYH7 cause autosomal dominant Laing distal myopathy. We present a family with a previously reported deletion (c.5186_5188delAGA, p.K1729del). Muscle pathology in one family member was characterized by an inflammatory myopathy with rimmed vacuoles, increased MHC Class I expression, and perivascular and endomysial muscle inflammation comprising CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), and CD68(+) inflammatory cells. Interestingly, this biopsy specimen contained TDP-43, p62, and SMI-31-positive protein aggregates typical of inclusion body myositis. These findings should alert physicians to the possibility that patients with MYH7 mutations may have muscle biopsies showing pathologic findings similar to inclusion body myositis.

Update in inclusion body myositis.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to review recent scientific advances relating to the natural history, cause, treatment and serum and imaging biomarkers of inclusion body myositis (IBM).Several theories regarding the aetiopathogenesis of IBM are being explored and new therapeutic approaches are being investigated. New diagnostic criteria have been proposed, reflecting the knowledge that the diagnostic pathological findings may be absent in patients with clinically typical IBM. The role of MRI in IBM is expanding and knowledge about pathological biomarkers is increasing. The recent description of autoantibodies to cytosolic 5' nucleotidase 1A in patients with IBM is a potentially important advance that may aid early diagnosis and provides new evidence regarding the role of autoimmunity in IBM.IBM remains an enigmatic and often misdiagnosed disease. The pathogenesis of the disease is still not fully understood. To date, pharmacological treatment trials have failed to show clear efficacy. Future research should continue to focus on improving understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease and on the identification of reliable and sensitive outcome measures for clinical trials. IBM is a rare disease and international multicentre collaboration for trials is important to translate research advances into improved patient outcomes.

Inclusion body myositis: evolving concepts.

Project description:Purpose of reviewTo discuss recent developments in our understanding of epidemiology, diagnostics, biomarkers, pathology, pathogenesis, outcome measures, and therapeutics in inclusion body myositis (IBM).Recent findingsRecent epidemiology data confirms a relatively higher prevalence in the population aged above 50 years and the reduced life expectancy. Association with cancer and other systemic disorders is better defined. The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound in diagnosis as well as in following disease progression has been elucidated. There are new blood and imaging biomarkers that show tremendous promise for diagnosis and as outcome measures in therapeutic trials. Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease will lead to better therapeutic interventions, but also highlights the importance to have sensitive and responsive outcome measures that accurately quantitate change.SummaryThere are exciting new developments in our understanding of IBM which should lead to improved management and therapeutic options.

Detecting dysphagia in inclusion body myositis.

Project description:Dysphagia is an important yet inconsistently recognized symptom of inclusion body myositis (IBM). It can be disabling and potentially life-threatening. We studied the prevalence and symptom-sign correlation of dysphagia. Fifty-seven IBM patients were interviewed using a standard questionnaire for dysphagia and 43 of these underwent swallowing videofluoroscopy (VFS). Symptoms of dysphagia were present in 37 of 57 patients (65%). Nevertheless, only 17 of these patients (46%) had previously and spontaneously complained about swallowing to their physicians. Both symptoms of impaired propulsion (IP) (59%) and aspiration-related symptoms (52%) were frequently mentioned. Swallowing abnormalities on VFS were present in 34 of 43 patients (79%) with IP of the bolus in 77% of this group. The reported feeling of IP was confirmed by VFS in 92% of these patients. Dysphagia in IBM is common but underreported by the vast majority of patients if not specifically asked for. In practice, two questions reliably predict the presence of IP on VFS: 'Does food get stuck in your throat' and 'Do you have to swallow repeatedly in order to get rid of food'. These questions are an appropriate means in selecting IBM patients for further investigation through VFS and eventual treatment.

Ongoing developments in sporadic inclusion body myositis.

Project description:Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an acquired muscle disorder associated with ageing, for which there is no effective treatment. Ongoing developments include: genetic studies that may provide insights regarding the pathogenesis of IBM, improved histopathological markers, the description of a new IBM autoantibody, scrutiny of the diagnostic utility of clinical features and biomarkers, the refinement of diagnostic criteria, the emerging use of MRI as a diagnostic and monitoring tool, and new pathogenic insights that have led to novel therapeutic approaches being trialled for IBM, including treatments with the objective of restoring protein homeostasis and myostatin blockers. The effect of exercise in IBM continues to be investigated. However, despite these ongoing developments, the aetiopathogenesis of IBM remains uncertain. A translational and multidisciplinary collaborative approach is critical to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with IBM.

Emerging therapeutic options for sporadic inclusion body myositis.

Project description:Sporadic inclusion body myositis is the most common inflammatory muscle disorder preferentially affecting males over the age of 40 years. Progressive muscle weakness of the finger flexors and quadriceps muscles results in loss of independence with activities of daily living and eventual wheelchair dependence. Initial signs of disease are often overlooked and can lead to mis- or delayed diagnosis. The underlying cause of disease is unknown, and disease progression appears refractory to available treatment options. This review discusses the clinical presentation of inclusion body myositis and the current efforts in diagnosis, and focuses on the current state of research for both nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatment options for this patient group.

A case report of deglutition triggered atrial fibrillation in a patient with Laing distal myopathy.

Project description:BackgroundDeglutition-induced atrial fibrillation is a rare clinical entity with a reported prevalence of 0.6%. Laing distal myopathy is a rare autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy that is the result of mutations within the slow skeletal muscle fibre myosin heavy chain gene (MYH7). Atrial fibrillation has not been previously reported in patients with Laing distal myopathy. We describe the first reported case of deglutition triggered atrial fibrillation in a female with a history of Laing distal myopathy.Case summaryA 44-year-old female with a history of Laing distal myopathy diagnosed at age 32, began experiencing intermittent episodes of pre-syncope and palpitations which occurred after deglutition with food. An ambulatory 30-day patient triggered event monitor recorded episodes of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. Family history was significant for Laing distal myopathy, atrial fibrillation, as well as sudden cardiac death. Laboratory data, transthoracic echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and an exercise treadmill SPECT Imaging stress test were normal. An oesophagram revealed a mild oesophageal dysmotility with no other abnormalities. She was started on flecainide 50 mg p.o. every 8 h and verapamil 40 mg p.o. every 8 h with no further episodes of atrial fibrillation.DiscussionGiven the strong genetic component of this myopathy, one could postulate as to a possible genetic component in the development of atrial fibrillation in our patient. Although we cannot make definite correlation between deglutition-induced atrial fibrillation and Laing myopathy, it is important to report this unusual association which has not been described before.

Targeting protein homeostasis in sporadic inclusion body myositis.

Project description:Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is the commonest severe myopathy in patients more than 50 years of age. Previous therapeutic trials have targeted the inflammatory features of sIBM but all have failed. Because protein dyshomeostasis may also play a role in sIBM, we tested the effects of targeting this feature of the disease. Using rat myoblast cultures, we found that up-regulation of the heat shock response with arimoclomol reduced key pathological markers of sIBM in vitro. Furthermore, in mutant valosin-containing protein (VCP) mice, which develop an inclusion body myopathy, treatment with arimoclomol ameliorated disease pathology and improved muscle function. We therefore evaluated arimoclomol in an investigator-led, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept trial in sIBM patients and showed that arimoclomol was safe and well tolerated. Although arimoclomol improved some IBM-like pathology in the mutant VCP mouse, we did not see statistically significant evidence of efficacy in the proof-of-concept patient trial.
