| Name | X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy |
| Description | X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy (XMPMA) is characterized by the combined presentation of weakness and atrophy of postural muscles (scapuloperoneal weakness and bent spine) with a pseudoathletic phenotype where alternative muscle groups are hypertrophic. Linkage studies and haplotype analysis followed by direct gene sequencing have identified five mutations in the FHL1 gene in patients with XMPMA. |
