Myofibrillar myopathies are a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by degeneration of Z-disk, causing the disintegration of myofibrils. They may be caused by mutations in different genes, among these, the BAG3 gene (Bcl-2 associed-athanogene-3) encodes a multidomain protein that plays an important role in many cellular processes. We report the case of a 16-year-old male who at 4 years of age presented with a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, then developed axonal sensory motor polyneuropathy, muscle weakness, rigid spine, severe kyphoscoliosis and respiratory failure.
