Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B misdiagnosed as polymyositis at the early stage: Case report and literature review.

Medicine - 1 May 2018

Xu Chuan, Chen Jiajun, Zhang Yingyu, Li Jia

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: Dysferlin myopathy is an autosomal recessive hereditary muscular dystrophy due to deficiency of dysferlin caused by alteration of the DYSF gene; Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) is the most common in Its clinical phenotypes. However, LGMD2B is rarely seen in clinical cases and may initially present as weakness of proximalpelvis muscles and muscles in the posterior compartments of...
