Abstract:
:A 9-year-old boy with severe growth retardation, mild mental retardation, and hypospadia had a high serum CK level without muscle weakness and atrophy. Muscle biopsy revealed a moderate variation in fiber size with a few necrotic and scattered regenerating fibers. Although muscle membranes were clearly stained by immunostaining with antibody to dystrophin, N-terminal region (2-5E2), fibers in groups revealed striking, intense staining with the other antibody, C-terminal region (4C5), suggesting some aberration of the dystrophin gene near the C-terminal area. His unique clinical features, as well as myopathy, are reported, although further study is necessary to clarify the relationship between the anomalous conditions and dystrophin abnormalities.
