The term &quot;oculopharyngeal&quot; refers to the eyes (oculo-) and a part of the throat called the pharynx (-pharyngeal). Affected individuals usually first experience weakness of the muscles in both eyelids that causes droopy eyelids (ptosis). Ptosis can worsen over time, causing the eyelid to impair vision, and in some cases, limit eye movement. Along with ptosis, affected individuals develop weakness of the throat muscles that causes difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). Dysphagia begins with dry food, but over time, liquids can also become difficult to swallow. Dysphagia can cause saliva to accumulate and a wet-sounding voice. Many people with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy also have weakness and wasting (atrophy) of the tongue. These problems with food intake may cause malnutrition, choking, or a bacterial lung infection called aspiration pneumonia.","mondoId":"MONDO:0008116","records":[{"frequencyKind":"range","key":"028e6e7c083896991efb69ae0e275cfe79a089362abbcdb229fd4904e40e7276","raw":{"aspect":"P","body_system":"musculoskeletal","disease_id":"ORPHA:270","disease_name":"Oculopharyngeal

The PABPN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is found throughout the body. The PABPN1 protein plays an important role in processing molecules called messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which serve as genetic blueprints for making proteins. PABPN1 alters a region at the end of mRNA molecules that protects mRNA from being broken down. The PABPN1 protein also is involved in transporting mRNA within the cell.</p><p>The PABPN1 protein contains an area where 10 copies of the protein building block (amino acid) alanine occur in a row. This stretch of alanines is known as a polyalanine tract. The role of the polyalanine tract in normal PABPN1 protein function is unknown. Mutations in the PABPN1 gene that cause oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy result in a PABPN1 protein with an abnormally long (extended) polyalanine tract that includes between 11 and 18 alanines. Typically, affected individuals with shorter polyalanine tracts tend to have milder signs and symptoms that develop later in life compared to those with longer polyalanine tracts. The extra alanines cause the PABPN1 protein to form nonfunctional clumps within muscle cells. These clumps (called intranuclear inclusions) accumulate and are thought to impair the normal functioning of muscle cells, eventually causing cell death. The resulting loss of muscle cells over time most likely causes the muscle weakness seen in people with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. In severe cases, it is likely that intranuclear inclusions affect nerve cells as well as muscle cells.</p><p class=\"section-source\"><a href=\"https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy/#causes\">MedlinePlus Genetics: Causes</a></p>","key":"forms","title":"What causes Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy?"},{"bodyHtml":"<p>Individuals with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy frequently have weakness in the muscles near the center of the body (proximal muscles), particularly muscles in the shoulders, upper legs, and hips (limb-girdle muscles). The weakness slowly gets worse, and people may need the aid of a cane or a walker. Rarely, affected individuals need wheelchair assistance.</p><p>Rarely, individuals have a severe form of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy with muscle weakness that begins before age 45, and have trouble walking independently by age 60. These individuals often also have disturbances in nerve function (neuropathy), a gradual loss of intellectual functioning (cognitive decline), and psychiatric symptoms such as depression or strongly held false beliefs (delusions).</p><p class=\"section-source\">Source: <a href=\"https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy\">MedlinePlus Genetics</a></p>","key":"overview","title":"Condition overview"}],"sharedSources":[],"slug":"oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy","sourceDocuments":[{"name":"Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy","reviewed":"2018-02","sections":{"causes":{"fetchedAt":"2026-10-20T20:23:54.249030+00:00","label":"Causes","pageSha256":"7a28c9e7202d7be8c150c95f7251a2a8d72cd070dda7017da9265fb12b66d717","sourceUrl":"https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy/#causes","status":"available"}},"source_release":"2026-10-01","url":"https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy"}],"sourceNote":"MedlinePlus descriptions and Causes; original HPO annotations.","takeawayHtml":"Cause explanations are from MedlinePlus Genetics.
