Summary
Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) can affect the central nervous system (CNS) later in life. This study highlights unique diagnostic markers for CNS involvement in benign CMD cases.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Genetics
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) is often considered 'benign' with minimal central nervous system (CNS) involvement.
- Delayed onset and slowly progressive CNS disease in CMD may be underrecognized.
