Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) have been associated with neuromuscular diseases and more complex syndromes, involving bone and adipose tissue. We report on a case of early onset myopathy due to a heterozygous LMNA mutation in exon 9, characterized by the presence of a marked number of cytoplasmic bodies with extensive myofibrillar abnormalities and Z-disk disruption in skeletal muscle. This case suggests there is a need to increase the list of genes to be screened in patients with myofibrillar myopathy.
