Autosomal Recessive Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2c

Description

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (LGMD2C) is a subtype of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy characterized by a childhood onset of progressive shoulder and pelvic girdle muscle weakness and atrophy frequently associated with calf hypertrophy, diaphragmatic weakness, and/or variable cardiac abnormalities. Mild to moderate elevated serum creatine kinase levels and positive Gowers sign are reported.
