A muscle tissue disease characterized by electrically silent contractions of the skeletal muscles in response to mechanical stimuli. It has_material_basis_in mutation in the gene localized to 1q41 at the distal end of the long arm of chromosome 1, with symptoms of characteristic lateral rolling movement of muscle, with symptoms of muscle cramps, with symptoms of muscle pain, with symptoms of muscle stiffness during or following exercise.

Signs and symptoms

  • Percussion-induced rapid rolling muscle contractions
  • Muscle mounding
  • Exercise-induced myalgia
  • Skeletal muscle hypertrophy
  • Muscle hyperirritability
  • EMG abnormality
  • Exercise-induced muscle cramps
  • Exercise-induced muscle stiffness
