Description
A heterogenous group of inherited muscular dystrophy without the involvement of nervous system. The disease is characterized by MUSCULAR ATROPHY; MUSCLE WEAKNESS; CONTRACTURE of the elbows; ACHILLES TENDON; and posterior cervical muscles; with or without cardiac features. There are several INHERITANCE PATTERNS including X-linked (X CHROMOSOME), autosomal dominant (for LMNA-associated type see AUTOSOMAL EMERY-DREIFUSS MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY), and autosomal recessive gene mutations.
