Scapular winging- MedGen UID:
- 66822
- •Concept ID:
- C0240953
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Abnormal protrusion of the scapula away from the surface of the back.
Shoulder girdle muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 96533
- •Concept ID:
- C0427063
- •
- Finding
The shoulder, or pectoral, girdle is composed of the clavicles and the scapulae. Shoulder-girdle weakness refers to lack of strength of the muscles attaching to these bones, that is, lack of strength of the muscles around the shoulders.
Pelvic girdle muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 96534
- •Concept ID:
- C0427064
- •
- Finding
Weakness of the muscles of the pelvic girdle (also known as the hip girdle), that is, lack of strength of the muscles around the pelvis.
Dysphagia- MedGen UID:
- 41440
- •Concept ID:
- C0011168
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Difficulty in swallowing.
Delayed ability to walk- MedGen UID:
- 66034
- •Concept ID:
- C0241726
- •
- Finding
A failure to achieve the ability to walk at an appropriate developmental stage. Most children learn to walk in a series of stages, and learn to walk short distances independently between 12 and 15 months.
Motor delay- MedGen UID:
- 381392
- •Concept ID:
- C1854301
- •
- Finding
A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills.
Joint contracture- MedGen UID:
- 3228
- •Concept ID:
- C0009918
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
A limitation in the passive range of motion of a joint resulting from loss of elasticity in the periarticular tissues owing to structural changes of non-bony tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules or skin. A contracture prevents movement of the associated body part.
Muscular dystrophy- MedGen UID:
- 44527
- •Concept ID:
- C0026850
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The term dystrophy means abnormal growth. However, muscular dystrophy is used to describe primary myopathies with a genetic basis and a progressive course characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting, defects in muscle proteins, and histological features of muscle fiber degeneration (necrosis) and regeneration. If possible, it is preferred to use other HPO terms to describe the precise phenotypic abnormalities.
Difficulty climbing stairs- MedGen UID:
- 68676
- •Concept ID:
- C0239067
- •
- Finding
Reduced ability to climb stairs.
Distal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 140883
- •Concept ID:
- C0427065
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of the musculature of the distal extremities.
Autophagic vacuoles- MedGen UID:
- 107466
- •Concept ID:
- C0544966
- •
- Finding
The lysosomal-vacuolar pathway has a role in the controlled intracellular digestion of macromolecules such as protein complexes and organelles. This feature refers to the presence of an abnormally increased number of autophagic vacuoles in muscle tissue.
Difficulty running- MedGen UID:
- 108251
- •Concept ID:
- C0560346
- •
- Finding
Reduced ability to run.
Centrally nucleated skeletal muscle fibers- MedGen UID:
- 330782
- •Concept ID:
- C1842170
- •
- Finding
An abnormality in which the nuclei of sarcomeres take on an abnormally central localization (or in which this feature is found in an increased proportion of muscle cells).
Rimmed vacuoles- MedGen UID:
- 340089
- •Concept ID:
- C1853932
- •
- Finding
Presence of abnormal vacuoles (membrane-bound organelles) in the sarcolemma. On histological staining with hematoxylin and eosin, rimmed vacuoles are popcorn-like clear vacuoles with a densely blue rim. The vacuoles are often associated with cytoplasmic and occasionally intranuclear eosinophilic inclusions.
Spinal rigidity- MedGen UID:
- 346721
- •Concept ID:
- C1858025
- •
- Finding
Reduced ability to move the vertebral column with a resulting limitation of neck and trunk flexion.
EMG: myopathic abnormalities- MedGen UID:
- 867362
- •Concept ID:
- C4021726
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of abnormal electromyographic patterns indicative of myopathy, such as small-short polyphasic motor unit potentials.
Increased endomysial connective tissue- MedGen UID:
- 867771
- •Concept ID:
- C4022161
- •
- Finding
An increased volume of the endomysium, which is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds each muscule fiber. Together, bundles of muscle fibers form a fasciculus, surrounded by another layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
Elevated circulating creatine concentration- MedGen UID:
- 1815053
- •Concept ID:
- C5706147
- •
- Finding
An elevation above the normal range of creatine in the blood circulation.
Ptosis- MedGen UID:
- 2287
- •Concept ID:
- C0005745
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The upper eyelid margin is positioned 3 mm or more lower than usual and covers the superior portion of the iris (objective); or, the upper lid margin obscures at least part of the pupil (subjective).
