The presenting feature is in 89% of cases weakness and wasting of the small long extensor muscles of the hands and feet. Myotonia and sensory changes are not present. It gradually affects the distal muscles of the lower extremities. The association between this disorder and heart problems is not as frequent as it is the case with congenital myopathies. However, cardiomyopathic cases have been reported. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1164079812 ER -
