"Multicore Disease" and "Minicore Disease" are synonymous terms.

The disorder they describe is related to, but distinct from, central core disease.  In central core disease, the mitochondria-lacking cores run the whole length of the muscle fiber.  In minicore disease, there are multiple, smaller core-like structures.

Like CCD, malignant hyperthermia can be associated with minicore disease.  

Some people with minicore disease are developmentally delayed.   

Type 1 fiber predominance often occurs.
