[Miyoshi distal muscular dystrophy (Miyoshi myopathy)].

Abstract excerpt

We present an overview of autosomal recessive distal muscular dystrophy (ARDMD), including recent molecular genetic findings. ARDMD is often referred to as Miyoshi-type distal muscular dystrophy (MDMD) or Miyoshi myopathy (MM). The onset of MDMD occurs in early adulthood. Muscle atrophy is most dominant in distal leg muscles, especially the flexor muscles, i.e., gastrocnemius and soleus. As MDMD advances, muscle...
