Studies included electromyography, histological examination of muscle tissue, histochemical, electron microscopical, and biochemical analyses.

Most cases are sporadic, but autosomal recessive inheritance has been suggested. A family is reported in which two sibs are affected by this syndrome, presenting further evidence for autosomal recessive inheritance. The recognition of this syndrome as a dis...
متن کاملGenetic localization of Bethlem myopathy.
Bethlem myopathy is a rare autosomal dominant myopathy characterized by slowly progressive limb-girdle muscular atrophy and weakness, and contractures of multiple joints. To identify the genetic localization we used highly polymorphic microsatellite markers in a genome-wide search in six Dutch families. After excluding genetic linkage with 52 markers distributed evenly over the autosomes, signi...
متن کاملOsteopetrosis a report of two Iranian patients with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern
In the rare hereditary bone disorder of osteopetrosis, reduced bone resorption function leads to both the development of densely sclerotic fragile bones and progressive obliteration of the marrow spaces and cranial foramina. Marrow obliteration, typically associated with extramedullary hemopoiesis and hepatosplenomegaly, results in anemia and thrombocytopenia and nerve entrapment accounts for p...
