"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.
