| The patient presents at birth or during the first year of life with generalized weakness and characteristic myopathic facies with several physical deformities. |
| As the father of a myopathic child, he has not ceased to make progress in genetic research for more than twenty years. |
| The morphological changes that take place differ in myopathic and neuropathic conditions. |
| An electromyogram demonstrated rare myopathic findings in two proximal muscles. |
| Functional deficiency occurring during the leg lengthening has neuropathic, myopathic and arthropathic aspects. |
| I favor the latter explanation based on the observation that physical exercise may protect the muscle against the steroid myopathic effects. |
