This is a well written review article covering five distinct distal myopathies with discrete clinical and genetic patterns. Their proposed classification based on the onset of disease has now been widely accepted.

An overview of the late onset WDM with autosomal dominant inheritance is provided. Electrophysiologic and muscle biopsy findings consited of both myopathic and neuropathic character. The rimmed vacuoles constituted a predominant change in muscular fibers. The tubulofilamentous inclusions with a diameter of 16-21 nm are similar to those seen in DMRV and IBM.

The authors assigned the TMD locus to a restricted region on chromosome 2q31 with a maximum two-point LOD score with a marker D2S364. Interestingly a family with a more severe limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-type disease was also associated with homozygosity of the same disease haplotype.

Neurology 1998; 50 (Suppl 4):A186. Because the TMD and late-onset distal myopathy [13] are linked to the same locus on chromosome 9, these diseases appeared to be allelic.

TMD is overviewed; it is prevalent in Finland with the clinical characteristics of late onset slowly progressive muscular atrophy affecting predominantly the anterior tibial muscle. The muscle pathology showed dystrophic changes with rimmed vacuoles, although the vacuoles were seen during the early stages only.

Unlike other forms of distal myopathy, the disease was progressive, resulting in a nonambulant state about 12 years after onset. Cardiac and respiratory muscles were less severely affected.

The authors successfully cloned the gene for autosomal recessive distal muscular dystrophy (Miyoshi myopathy) and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. The gene contains an open reading frame of 6234 base pairs and encodes 2080 amino acids, and was designated as dysferlin (gene symbol DYSF). Mutations found in eight families were variable including insertions, deletion and point mutations.

Nature Genet 1998; 20:37-42. The gene for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B was cloned independently by Liu J et al. [39]. The gene showed no homology to any known mammalian gene, but its predicted product was related to the C. etegans spermatogenesis factor fer-1, and termed dysferlin. The authors identified two homozygous frame mutations in this gene, resulting in muscular dystrophy of either proximal or distal onset in nine families.

Vocal cord and pharyngeal weakness with autosomal dominant distal myopathy: clinical description and gene localization to 5q31. Am J Hum Genet 1998;63:1732-1742. A new distal myopathy affecting vocal cord and pharyngeal muscles but sparing ocular muscle in a Caucasian family with an autosomal dominant inheritance is reported. The gene was mapped to chromosome 5q31. Muscle biopsies showed myopathic changes with rimmed vacuoles but with no nuclear inclusions.
