  • Title: Benign muscular dystrophy with contractures: a new syndrome?
    Author: Bailey RO, Dentinger MP, Toms ME, Hans MB.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Scand; 1986 Apr; 73(4):439-43. PubMed ID: 3727920.
    Abstract:
    Three patients are described with muscular dystrophy and contractures. Although this disorder bears similarities to Emery-Dreifuss disease and variants previously described, absence of cardiomyopathy is a distinguishing feature. Electrodiagnostic testing and muscle biopsy are consistent with a myopathy. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance is suspected, but the possibility of a Y-to-Y transmission cannot be completely excluded.
