Myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) are a group of rare genetic neuromuscular disorders that affect muscle function and cause weakness. They primarily affect skeletal muscles; the limb muscles close to the center of the body (proximal) as well as the …
Myofibrillar myopathies - Muscular Dystrophy UK
Myofibrillar myopathies are a group of conditions called myopathies that affect muscle function and cause weakness. They primarily affect skeletal muscles. A weakening of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) is also common and may manifest as arrhythmia, conduction defects or congestive heart failure.
MYOFIBRILLAR MYOPATHIES - PMC
The term myofibrillar myopathies (MFMs) was proposed in 1996 as a noncommittal term for a group of chronic neuromuscular diseases associated with common morphologic features [1, 2].
Myofibrillar myopathy is part of a group of disorders called muscular dystrophies that affect muscle function and cause weakness. Myofibrillar myopathy primarily affects skeletal muscles, which are muscles that the body uses for movement. In some cases, the heart (cardiac) muscle is …

Myofibrillar myopathies (MFMs) are rare, inherited or sporadic, progressive neuromuscular disorders with considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. MFMs are defined morphologically by foci of myofibril dissolution that begins at the Z-disk, accumulation of …
Myofibrillar myopathy - NIH Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) - NCBI
The signs and symptoms of myofibrillar myopathy vary widely among affected individuals, typically depending on the condition's genetic cause. Most people with this disorder begin to develop muscle weakness (myopathy) in mid-adulthood.
Orphanet: Myofibrillar myopathy
Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) describes a group of skeletal and cardiac muscle disorders, defined by the disintegration of myofibrils and aggregation of degradation products into intracellular inclusions, and is typically clinically characterized by slowly-progressive muscle weakness, which initially involves the distal muscles, but is highly ...
