  • Title: [Congenital fiber disproportion: atrophy of type I fibers. Report of 11 cases].
    Author: Levy JA, Alegro MS, Lusvarghi ES, Salum PN, Tsanaclis AM, Levy A.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1987 Jun; 45(2):153-8. PubMed ID: 3426422.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 11 cases of congenital disproportion of fibers, confirmed through clinical and complementary examinations. In these 11 cases early fibrotendinous retractions were frequent and CK proved to be high. At muscle biopsy histochemistry revealed a selective atrophy of type I fibers. This is a rarely frequent congenital dystrophy, of slow progression and benign evolution.
