In medicine, a myopathy is a neuromuscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function for any one of many reasons, resulting in muscular weakness.
A less severe form of centronuclear myopathy that may present itself at birth or in early childhood progresses slowly and is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.
The least severe of the three forms of centronuclear myopathy first appears during the second and third decades of life and is slowly progressive; it is inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait.

 Lipid storage myopathy Rifat Mannan AA, Ralte AM, Sharma MC, Gulati S, Kalra V, Sarkar C - Indian J Pediatr
Lipid storage myopathy results from defect in any of the mitochondrial enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation.
Deficiency of carnitine has been associated with three distinct clinical syndromes: (i) primary carnitine deficiency associated with lipid myopathy[2]; (ii) primary systemic carnitine deficiency associated with hepatic encephalopathy and myopathy[3], and (iii) primary systemic carnitine deficiency associated with progressive cardiomyopathy[4].
Although serum or muscle carnitine estimation could not be performed, the histologic evidence of lipid storage myopathy coupled with clinical response to levo-carnitine therapy strongly favors this diagnosis in the present case.

In secondary carnitine deficiency, which is caused by other metabolic disorders (eg, fatty acid oxidation disorders, organic acidemias), carnitine depletion may be secondary to the formation of acylcarnitine adducts and the inhibition of carnitine transport in renal cells by acylcarnitines.
