Mild to moderate elevated serum creatine kinase levels and positive Gowers sign are reported. The disease is autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (Monarch Disease Ontology entry MONDO_0009677). Also known as: DMDA1, LGMD2C, Maghrebian myopathy, SCARMD, SGCG autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, autosomal recessive Duchenne-like muscular dystrophy type 1, autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy caused by mutation in SGCG, deficiency of sarcoglycan gamma.
