  Symptoms INHERITANCE: Autosomal recessive MUSCLE, SOFT TISSUE: Muscular dystrophy; Neonatal hypotonia; Muscle weakness, proximal; Gower sign; Difficulty climbing stairs; Calf pseudohypertrophy; Dystrophic changes seen on skeletal muscle biopsy NEUROLOGIC [findzebra.com]

• Proximal Muscle Weakness

  Limb muscle weakness Lower limb muscle weakness Pica Supraventricular arrhythmia Congestive heart failure Centrally nucleated skeletal muscle fibers Proximal upper limb amyotrophy Absent muscle fiber emerin Decreased cervical spine flexion due to contractures [mendelian.co]

  The main symptoms comprised infrequent hip cramps triggered by flexion, neck cramps triggered by yawning, transient growing pains, calf hypertrophy and mild proximal muscle weakness. [diva-portal.org]

  Proximal muscles showed a less severe weakness and wasting. The condition was present at birth and showed little progression. [findzebra.com]

The prognosis is very poor. Last update: July 2006 This syndrome is characterised by ichthyosis, hepatosplenomegaly and late-onset cerebellar ataxia. It has been described in two brothers. Transmission is either autosomal recessive or X-linked. [findzebra.com]

The etiology of many of these disorders and a more pathogenetic classification is evolving. Duchenne and Becker dystrophies are now classified as dystrophinopathies, because they are caused by mutations in the gene for the protein dystrophin. [emedicine.medscape.com]
