Fingerprint body myopathy is a congenital benign muscle disorder characterized by congenital hypotonia and weakness and by the presence of numerous fingerprint bodies located at the periphery of the muscle fibers. Prevalence is unknown. Less than 20 patients have been described. Few sporadic cases have been observed, as well as cases of recessive transmission.
Features include: Myopathy and Abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Muscles | 1 | Myopathy |
Metabolism | 1 | Abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis |
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for fingerprint body myopathy.
5 publications have been identified in PubMed for fingerprint body myopathy. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (40%), Basic Science / Preclinical (40%), and Case Report / Case Series (20%).
