A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: Salih Myopathy
Salih myopathy is characterized by muscle weakness (manifest during the neonatal period or in early infancy) and delayed motor development; children acquire independent walking between ages 20 months and four years. In the first decade of life, global motor performance is stable or tends to improve. Moderate joint and neck contractures and spinal rigidity may manifest in the first decade but become more obvious in the second decade. Scoliosis develops after age 11 years. Cardiac dysfunction manifests between ages five and 16 years, progresses rapidly, and leads to death between ages eight and 20 years, usually from heart rhythm disturbances. [from GeneReviews]

Additional descriptions

From OMIM
Congenital myopathy-5 with cardiomyopathy (CMYP5) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the onset of muscle weakness in infancy manifest as neonatal hypotonia, delayed motor development, and often distal contractures. Affected individuals may have congenital heart defects and most develop severe cardiomyopathy in childhood or adolescence that may lead to death or require heart transplant. Skeletal muscle biopsy shows multiminicore myopathy, centrally located nuclei, and type 1 fiber predominance (Carmignac et al., 2007; Chauveau et al., 2014). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of congenital myopathy, see CMYP1A (117000).  http://www.omim.org/entry/611705
From MedlinePlus Genetics
Early-onset myopathy with fatal cardiomyopathy (EOMFC) is an inherited muscle disease that affects the skeletal muscles, which are used for movement, and the heart (cardiac) muscle. This condition is characterized by skeletal muscle weakness that becomes apparent in early infancy. Affected individuals have delayed development of motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and walking. Beginning later in childhood, people with EOMFC may also develop joint deformities called contractures that restrict the movement of the neck and back. Scoliosis, which is an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine, also develops in late childhood.

A form of heart disease called dilated cardiomyopathy is another feature of EOMFC. Dilated cardiomyopathy enlarges and weakens the cardiac muscle, preventing the heart from pumping blood efficiently. Signs and symptoms of this condition can include an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), shortness of breath, extreme tiredness (fatigue), and swelling of the legs and feet. The heart abnormalities associated with EOMFC usually become apparent in childhood, after the skeletal muscle abnormalities. The heart disease worsens quickly, and it often causes heart failure and sudden death in adolescence or early adulthood.  https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/early-onset-myopathy-with-fatal-cardiomyopathy

Clinical features

From HPO
Sudden cardiac death
MedGen UID:
38841
Concept ID:
C0085298
Pathologic Function
The heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating resulting in death within a short time period (generally within 1 h of symptom onset).
Cardiac arrhythmia
MedGen UID:
2039
Concept ID:
C0003811
Finding
Any cardiac rhythm other than the normal sinus rhythm. Such a rhythm may be either of sinus or ectopic origin and either regular or irregular. An arrhythmia may be due to a disturbance in impulse formation or conduction or both.
Atrioventricular block
MedGen UID:
13956
Concept ID:
C0004245
Disease or Syndrome
Delayed or lack of conduction of atrial depolarizations through the atrioventricular node to the ventricles.
Primary dilated cardiomyopathy
MedGen UID:
2880
Concept ID:
C0007193
Disease or Syndrome
Familial dilated cardiomyopathy is a genetic form of heart disease. It occurs when heart (cardiac) muscle becomes thin and weakened in at least one chamber of the heart, causing the open area of the chamber to become enlarged (dilated). As a result, the heart is unable to pump blood as efficiently as usual. To compensate, the heart attempts to increase the amount of blood being pumped through the heart, leading to further thinning and weakening of the cardiac muscle. Over time, this condition results in heart failure.\n\nIt usually takes many years for symptoms of familial dilated cardiomyopathy to cause health problems. They typically begin in mid-adulthood, but can occur at any time from infancy to late adulthood. Signs and symptoms of familial dilated cardiomyopathy can include an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), shortness of breath (dyspnea), extreme tiredness (fatigue), fainting episodes (syncope), and swelling of the legs and feet. In some cases, the first sign of the disorder is sudden cardiac death. The severity of the condition varies among affected individuals, even in members of the same family.
Congestive heart failure
MedGen UID:
9169
Concept ID:
C0018802
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of an abnormality of cardiac function that is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a rate that is commensurate with the needs of the tissues or a state in which abnormally elevated filling pressures are required for the heart to do so. Heart failure is frequently related to a defect in myocardial contraction.
Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia
MedGen UID:
87403
Concept ID:
C0340477
Disease or Syndrome
Accessory pathway-related atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) involves an abnormal electrical conduction of the accessory pathway. The accessory pathway connecting impulses between the atrium and the ventricle can be seen at any site in the AV groove.
Severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction
MedGen UID:
868396
Concept ID:
C4022790
Finding
A large reduction in the fraction of blood pumped from the left ventricle with each cardiac cycle. The normal range in adults is at over 50 percent, and a severe reduction is defined as less than 30 percent.
Motor delay
MedGen UID:

Concept ID:
C1854301
Finding
A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills.
Joint contracture
MedGen UID:
