Background And Purpose: CGG repeat expansion in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of the Notch 2 N-terminal-like C gene () has been associated with neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) and oculopharyngodistal myopathy type 3 (OPDM3). Few OPDM3 patients have been reported. This report describes two OPDM3 patients with novel imaging findings who presented the typical features of NIID, and reviews all OPDM3 cases available in the literature.

Article Synopsis
  • A CGG repeat expansion in the 5' UTR of the GIPC1 gene is linked to oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM), a hereditary muscle disorder causing symptoms like eyelid drooping and muscle weakness.
  • This mutation has also been associated with Parkinson's disease, although without myopathy symptoms in those cases.
  • In two unrelated cases, patients with myopathic symptoms later developed parkinsonism, indicating that GIPC1-related repeat expansions may lead to various neuromuscular issues, highlighting the need to recognize central nervous system symptoms in OPDM2.

Objectives: This study characterizes oculopharyngodistal myopathy in 4 Thai patients from 3 families with CGG/CCG repeat expansion in .

Methods: Repeat-primed PCR analyzed CGG/CCG repeat size in in 4 Thai patients suspected of oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM). Clinical records were reviewed for clinicopathologic features.
