Presentation

CENTRAL CORE DISEASE Most patients with central core disease (CCD) present with hypotonia in early infancy and childhood and a subsequent delay in motor milestones. Rarely, severe hypotonia and marked contractures are present at birth. [neupsykey.com]
The most common type of nemaline rod myopathy presents in the infantile stage with 42% of patients presenting in the neonatal period. [6] While there has been an association with polyhydramnios, decreased fetal movements, and an abnormal fetal presentation [emedicine.medscape.com]
Within families, there can be considerable variation with respect to disease presentation and degree of muscle involvement. The serum creatine kinase (CK) levels are either normal or usually mildly elevated. [neurology.mhmedical.com]
In CCD 20% of patients present between 0 and 5 years, 30% between 6 and 20 years, 30% between 21 and 40 years, 15% over 40 years. MCD usually presents in the first year of life, however, approximately 10% of cases present in adulthood. [rrnursingschool.biz]
