Central core disease

Central Core Disease
Other namesCentral core myopathy
Histopathologic appearance of typical central core disease: NADH-TR, transverse section from the rectus femoris. Marked predominance of dark staining, high oxidative type 1 fibres with cores affecting the majority of fibres. Cores are typically well demarcated and centrally located (→), but may occasionally be multiple and of eccentric location.

Central core disease (CCD), also known as central core myopathy, is an autosomal dominant inherited[1] muscle disorder present from birth that negatively affects the skeletal muscles. It was first described by Shy and Magee in 1956.[2][3] It is characterized by the appearance of the myofibril under the microscope.[4]
