Other presentations Autosomal recessive (and autosomal dominant) inheritance have been described with several different presentations. [slideshare.net]

• Severe Mental Retardation

Treatment Treatment Options: No effective treatment is available but early indications are that FKRP gene therapy restores functional glycosylation and improves muscle functions. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

There is no specific treatment for this group of disorders. [what-when-how.com]

You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

AFO • PROGNOSIS:- The condition is usually fairly stable as far as the muscle power in the legs and arms is concerned, and often the child appears to gain strength in the first decade of life. [mobilephysiotherapyclinic.in]

The prognosis for MEB varies depending on the severity of the condition. [4] Some individuals only experience congenital muscular dystrophy; however, most additionally have severe vision loss and intellectual disability. [1] Last updated: 11/11/2016 If [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
