  • Title: Merosin negative congenital muscular dystrophy: a short report.
    Author: Ralte AM, Sharma MC, Gulati S, Das M, Sarkar C.
    Journal: Neurol India; 2003 Sep; 51(3):417-9. PubMed ID: 14652462.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of an infant with congenital muscular dystrophy who presented at birth with marked generalized hypotonia and normal mental development. Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) level was markedly raised; however no white matter abnormalities were detected by brain imaging techniques. Immunohistochemical staining for merosin (laminin alpha 2) was negative, thereby confirming merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy.
