-
A rare progressive muscular dystrophy characterised by an adult-onset scapulo-axio-peroneal myopathy. Clinical presentation includes shoulder girdle atrophy, scapular winging, axial muscular atrophy of postural muscles combined with a generalised hypertrophy. Typically neck rigidity, rigid spine, Achilles tendon shortening and respiratory insufficiency later in disease course are present. The phenotype is caused by mutation in the FHL1 gene.
