Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy and bethlem myopathy: clinical and genetic heterogeneity Distrofia muscular congênita com hiperextensibilidade articular distal (Ullrich) e miopatia de Bethlem: heterogeneidade clínica e genética

Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD), due to mutations in the collagen VI genes, is an autosomal recessive form of CMD, commonly associated with distal joints hyperlaxity and severe course. A mild or moderate involvement can be occasionally observed. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical pictu...
