Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) This form of autosomal recessive congenital muscular dystrophy is characterized by early-onset muscle wasting and mental retardation. Some patients develop fatal cardiomyopathy. Muscle biopsy shows peculiar enlarged mitochondria that are prevalent toward the periphery of the fibers but ...
Clinical Description OMIM Nishino et al. (1998) studied 4 patients with congenital muscular dystrophy from 3 unrelated families with the merosin-positive form; all were mentally retarded and shared the particular morphologic changes of mitochondrial depletion in muscle biopsies in addition to ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Based on the phenotype of the rostrocaudal muscular dystrophy (rmd) mouse due to a deletion in the Chkb gene (Sher et al., 2006), Mitsuhashi et al. (2011) screened the CHKB gene in 15 patients with congenital muscular dystrophy, ...
