Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Distal Myopathy
Gene: EMD
PMID: 21697856 - 21 male patients with EM muscular dystrophy. Age of onset not well reported, only age at diagnosis. Youngest patient was 5 days old but asymptomatic, eldest was 55 years.
Of those with age of onset reported, 3 had progressive muscle weakness onset from neonatal-5 years.
PMID: 31802929 - 1 family (9 affected males) with elevated CK levels and mild skeletal muscular dystrophy. Youngest affected was 7 years old
