[SMC] SCN4A-related congenital myopathy in a Han Chinese patient: A case report and literature review
Heliyon. 2023 Dec 11;10(1):e23663. doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23663. eCollection 2024 Jan 15.
ABSTRACT
SCN4A mutations have been shown to be associated with myotonia, paramyotonia congenita, and periodic paralyses. More recently, loss-of-function variants in the SCN4A gene were also noted to be associated with rarer, autosomal recessive forms of congenital myasthenic syndrome and congenital myopathy. Diagnosis is challenging as the initial clinical presentation and histological features on muscle biopsies are non-specific. We report a Han Chinese patient presented with congenital myopathy with two missense SCN4A variants. The patient had an antenatal history of reduced fetal movements, polyhydramnios and a very preterm birth. At birth, she was noted to have low Apgar score, respiratory distress syndrome and hypotonia. Delayed motor development was noted in early childhood. Dysmorphic features such as an elongated face, dolichocephaly and high arched palate were present. At 16 years of age, the patient developed progressive muscle weakness and was wheelchair-bound by age 20. Muscle biopsy revealed non-specific changes only. Targeted hereditary myopathy panel testing by next generation sequencing revealed two previously unreported missense variants c.1841A > T p.(Asn614Ile) and c.4420G > A p.(Ala1474Thr) in the SCN4A gene. The clinical features of SCN4A-related congenital myopathy and myasthenic syndrome were reviewed. This case exemplifies the utility of next generation sequencing in the diagnosis of undifferentiated muscle disease.
