Résumé
This study characterizes oculopharyngodistal myopathy in 4 Thai patients from 3 families with CGG/CCG repeat expansion in Repeat-primed PCR analyzed CGG/CCG repeat size in All patients exhibited strong somatic instabilities of the expanded CGG/CCG repeats, primarily manifesting as oculopharyngeal weakness. Patient 1 had mild finger extensor and intrinsic hand muscle weakness, and although patient 2 lacked limb weakness, both siblings showed electrophysiologic evidence of distal myopathy, indicative of OPDM. Patient 3, the daughter of a sibling with OPDM reported in 2004, lacked limb weakness or leukoencephalopathy on brain MRI. Patient 4, initially misdiagnosed with refractory myasthenia gravis, had generalized muscle weakness. While initially characterized as oculopharyngeal myopathy with leukoencephalopathy (OPML) in a Japanese family, our study suggests a stronger association between CGG/CCG expansion in
