Autosomal dominant distal axonal motor neuropathy-myofibrillar myopathy syndrome

A rare genetic neuromuscular disease characterized by length-dependent axonal motor neuropathy predominantly affecting the lower limbs, in combination with a myopathy with morphological features of myofibrillar myopathy with aggregates and rimmed vacuoles. Age of onset is typically in the second to third decade of life.
