HEREDITARY INCLUSION BODY MYOPATHY-JOINT CONTRACTURES-OPHTHALMOPLEGIA SYNDROME

Alternate names

HEREDITARY INCLUSION BODY MYOPATHY-JOINT CONTRACTURES-OPHTHALMOPLEGIA SYNDROME Is also known as inclusion body myopathy type 3, ibm3, myopathy with congenital joint contractures, ophthalmoplegia, and rimmed vacuoles, hibm3, inclusion body myopathy 3, autosomal dominant, formerly, ibm3, formerly, mypop, hereditary inclusion body myopathy type 3

Description

Hereditary inclusion body myopathy type 3 is characterised by congenital joint contractures (normalizing during early childhood), external ophthalmoplegia, and proximal muscle weakness. In adult cases, the muscular weakness is progressive.

Most common symptoms of HEREDITARY INCLUSION BODY MYOPATHY-JOINT CONTRACTURES-OPHTHALMOPLEGIA SYNDROME

  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Scoliosis
  • Muscle weakness
  • Ptosis
  • Flexion contracture
