Rippling muscle disease

Common Name(s)

Rippling muscle disease

Hereditary rippling muscle disease is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mechanically triggered contractions of skeletal muscle. In rippling muscle disease, mechanical stimulation leads to electrically silent muscle contractions that spread to neighboring fibers that cause visible ripples to move over the muscle. RMD is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but autosomal recessive inheritance has also been reported ({2:Kubisch et al., 2005}).

Author(s): Giulia Ricci, Isabella Scionti, Greta Alì, Leda Volpi, Virna Zampa, Marina Fanin, Corrado Angelini, Luisa Politano, Rossella Tupler, Gabriele Siciliano

Journal: Neuromuscul. Disord.. 2012 Jun;22(6):534-40.

 

We report the first case of a heterozygous T78M mutation in the caveolin-3 gene (CAV3) associated with rippling muscle disease and proximal myopathy. The patient displayed also bilateral winged scapula with limited abduction of upper arms and marked asymmetric atrophy of leg muscles ...
