Early Onset of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Two Children With -Related Myopathies.

Article Synopsis
- Selenoprotein-related myopathy (S-BM) is a rare muscular disease linked to mutations in the selenoprotein N1 gene and can manifest in various ways.
- Two children aged 7 and 12 with S-BM experienced sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) but showed significant improvement with long-term nocturnal noninvasive ventilation.
- The study recommends regular screening for SDB in S-BM patients through nocturnal polysomnography, as there's no clear connection between the timing of SDB onset and other symptoms like pulmonary function or muscle weakness.
