Reducing body myopathy

Definition

Reducing body myopathy (RBM) is a rare, sometimes fatal, X-linked disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and the presence of intracytoplasmic aggregates in histological muscle sections which exert a reducing activity on nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) staining. The causative gene for RBM is FHL1 encoding four and a half LIM domains.
