Distal myopathies: from clinical classification to molecular understanding.

Abstract excerpt

The distal myopathies are a group of rare diseases that in the past were primarily classified by eponyms. Classification criteria were the beginning of the disease, the distribution of the muscle weakness, the course of the disease, the prognosis, and histological changes in the muscle biopsy. Advances of molecular genetics have identified various genes and mutations in many of the clinical phenotypes. This led...
