Distal muscular dystrophy
Distal muscular dystrophy, also called distal myopathy, is essentially any muscle disease that preferentially affects the hands and/or feet, a much less common pattern than proximal muscle weakness.
- Late adult-onset type 1
 - Late adult-onset type 2a
 - Late adult-onset type 2b
 - Early adult-onset type 1
 - Early adult-onset type 2
 - Early adult-onset type 3
 
Myofibrillar myopathy
Myofibrillar myopathies are diseases that cause similar findings of affected muscle when viewed under a microscope.[3]
- Desminopathy
 - Myotilinopathy
 - Zaspopathy
 - Filaminopathy
 - Bag3opathy
 
Other muscular dystrophies
Congenital myopathies
Metabolic diseases
Mutations causing defects in metabolism can cause muscle damage due to inadequate energy for muscles or accumulation of waste products.[4]
Mitochondrial myopathy
Mitochondrial myopathies are diseases caused by mutations related to mitochondria, and thus are generally inherited from the mother with variable expressivity due to heteroplasmy.
- Kearns–Sayre syndrome
 - Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)
 - Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF)
 - Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency
 - Mitochondrial complex I deficiency
 - Mitochondrial complex II deficiency
 - Mitochondrial complex III deficiency (cytochrome b deficiency)
 - mtDNA deletion
 
Glycogen storage disease
Glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are a group of diseases caused by mutations related to glycogen metabolism.
- GSD type II (Pompe disease)
 - GSD type V (McArdle disease)
 - GSD type VII (Tarui disease)
 - GSD type XI (Lactate dehydrogenase deficiency)
 - GSD type X (Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency)
 - Phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency
 
Fat oxidation defect
Other metabolic myopathies
Inflammatory myopathies

Affecting nerve
- Troyer syndrome
 - Cramp fasciculation syndrome
