?:definition
  • Disease characterised by progressive limb and axial muscle weakness associated with cardiomyopathy and severe respiratory insufficiency during adolescence. The disease manifests during childhood and progresses rapidly. Two patients presented with a rigid spine and one a peripheral neuropathy. Disintegration of Z disks, extensive accumulation of granular debris and larger inclusions and apoptosis of a small fraction of the nuclei distinguish the disease. Caused by a mutation in the BAG3 gene, encoding a protein localised to the Z disk. Transmission is autosomal dominant.
