Myofibrillar Myopathy

Myofibrillar Myopathy is a rare muscle disease that affects the myofibrils, the structural components of muscle fibers responsible for contraction. People with this condition experience muscle weakness and wasting, which can gradually worsen over time. It is often caused by genetic mutations and can lead to difficulties in movement and everyday activities. Symptoms may include muscle cramps, stiffness, and pain. Diagnosis typically involves genetic testing and muscle biopsies, while treatment focuses on managing symptoms and maintaining muscle function through physical therapy and supportive care.
