[A family of scapula-back type of x-linked recessive muscular dystrophy].
In this paper are described seven men with a scapula-back type of x-linked recessive muscular dystrophy in a family. Onset began in boyhood. The scapula-back muscles were affected, but the calf muscles were normal. All of the patients were able to walk. The oldest patient was thirty-seven years old. Muscular dystrophy was confirmed by electro-myography (EMG), pathologic and CPK examinations. Pedigree analysis indicated x-linked recessive inheritance.
