Myofibrillar myopathies are genetically heterogeneous. We present a sporadic case of an 8-year-old boy with unusual combination of congenital skeletal muscle myopathy, cataract and poly/syndactyly. Muscle pathology revealed a mild myopathic picture with hyaline plaques, showing dark green staining in modified trichrome reaction, and strong immunoreactivity for alphaB-crystallin, desmin and dystrophin. Analysis of...
