Brief Summary: Many myopathies are inherited in a recessive manner but in some of these recessively inherited disorders clinical manifestations may potentially manifest in carriers of just a single mutation

The aim of the study is to describe the clinical characteristics of single mutation carriers of recessive myopathy through measuring serum creatine kinase muscle strength muscle degeneration by MRI and heart affection The investigators will do this by blood sampling Biodex 4 Isokinetic Dynamometer MRI analysis ECG Holter monitoring and echocardiography

The aim is further to describe whether these characteristics are found primarily with specific mutations
Detailed Description: Background

Many myopathies are inherited in a recessive manner but in some of these recessively inherited disorders clinical manifestations may potentially manifest in carriers of just a single mutation This has recently been demonstrated by researchers for the recessively inherited limb girdle muscle dystrophy LGMD type 2A where carriers of single mutations can also be symptomatic In X-linked recessively inherited dystrophinopathies caused by mutations in the DMD gene on chromosome Xp21 female mutation carriers may also manifest with disease although this is often milder than affected men In the recently discovered LGMD2L manifesting carriers are also suspected Thus according to statistics too many persons evaluated for myopathy carry a single LGMD2L mutation

Some previous studies have looked into the significance of being a single mutation carrier in recessive muscle disease In dystrophinopathy it was reported that 5 of female DMD carriers reported myalgia and cramps 17 experienced mild-to-moderate muscle weakness and 8 experienced dilated cardiomyopathy with a mean onset age of approximately 30 years Another study found that echocardiographic examination was abnormal in up to 38 of DMD female carriers - some with dilated cardiomyopathy and some with left ventricle dilatation

Overall however significance of carrying a single mutation of recessive myopathy is widely unexplored No study has yet investigated the characteristics of single mutation carriers of recessive myopathy in an observational cross-sectional study

Aim

In this study clinical characteristics of single mutation carriers of recessive myopathies will be investigated The investigation will include sceletal muscle degeneration and strength as well as cardiac status

Recruitment and Methods

Estimated total of subjects recruited is 200 with known recessive gene mutations and 40 healthy controls In former studies 40 healthy volunteers have already been investigated thereby giving a total of 80 healthy controls Recessive gene carrier recruits will be obtained via the Department of Clinical Genetics and Copenhagen Neuromuscular Center Rigshospitalet thus only including carriers aware of their carrier status

2 days of testing per participant Day one Measuring S-creatine kinase level blood sampling muscle strength Biodex 4 Isokinetic Dynamometer ECG and Holter monitor device application

Day two Holter monitor device removal Dixon MRI analysis with gadolinium contrast medium and echocardiography

Healthy controls will take part in MRI-scanning and isokinetic dynamometer testing

Trials are expected to be carried out between October 2016 and May 2020
