Distal Myopathies What is distal muscular dystrophy (DD)? Although most forms of distal . LGMD patients have a more proximal involvement at the onset but, after 20 years of disease progression, the two phenotypes usually merge as dysferlinopathies 138-140. The term distal myopathy refers to a long list of genetic muscle diseases presenting at the onset with weakness of distal extremities, usually combined with progressive atrophy of the corresponding distal muscles.

Two following studies identified novel Korean and non-Korean (Turkish and Indian) patients, confirming the gene-disease association 273,274. Many times muscular dystrophy appears to have occurred out of the blue, but in reality, one or both parents may be carriers, silently harboring the genetic mutation.
