Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to investigate the diagnostic yield and clinical utility of open muscle biopsy and to identify pre-biopsy factors that might predict useful clinical results for suspected myopathy. METHODS: Two-hundred fifty-eight muscle biopsies, performed for investigation of suspected myopathy, were evaluated. RESULTS: A specific clinical diagnosis following muscle biopsy was made in...
