چکیده

UNLABELLED Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency is noted in skeletal muscles. It generally presents with exertional myalgias, fatigue and weakness. We present a patient who complained of constant pain unrelated to activity with biopsy finding consistent of myoadenylate deaminase deficiency. KEYWORDS Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency; Myalgia; Pain.

Myotonia congenita and myoadenylate deaminase deficiency: case report.

Approximately 1-2% of the population has a deficiency of the enzyme myoadenylate deaminase. Early reports suggested that patients with myoadenylate deaminase deficiency had various forms of myalgia, and exercise intolerance. However, a deficiency of the enzyme has been described in many conditions, including myopathies, neuropathies, and motor neuron disease. We report a patient with clinical d...

Disruption of the purine nucleotide cycle. A potential explanation for muscle dysfunction in myoadenylate deaminase deficiency.

A patient with symptoms of easy fatigability, postexercise myalgias, and delayed recovery of muscle strength after activity is described. Skeletal muscle from this patient had <1.0% normal myoadenylate deaminase activity and NH(3) was not released from muscle after ischemic exercise. In association with this enzyme deficiency, exercise led to a >90% reduction in muscle content of adenine nucleo...

Positive malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in vitro test in a patient with mitochondrial myopathy and myoadenylate deaminase deficiency.

MALIGNANT hyperthermia (MH) is a life-threatening anesthesia-related complication characterized by a hypermetabolic response of skeletal muscle which can be triggered by anesthetic drugs such as halothane and succinylcholine. Although some genes have been identified to be involved in MH (such as the ryanodine receptor gene [RYR1] and the dihydropyridine receptor [DHP] gene) the underlying molec...

Right ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in primary Myo-Adenylate Deaminase Deficiency

MyoAdenylate Deaminase Deficiency (MADD) is a relatively common metabolic disorder of the skeletal muscle. Patients with MADD usually show an impaired bioenergetic production and a clinical spectrum with either exercise-induced muscle pain, fatigue and/or rhabdomyolysis. Left ventricular hypertrophy as well as other types of cardiac involvement have been reported in patients with primary MADD. ...
