Sleep and breathing disturbances in infancy and early childhood.

abstract：:A 6-year-old girl had reduced fetal movements, numerous apneic spells, muscle hypotonia, and developmental motor delay. Her muscle biopsy tissue showed variation in myofiber diameters, small minicores by electron microscopy, and near-uniformity of type I fibers. Although no mutations were detected in RYR1, SEPN1, and ...
