Clinically affected; symptom onset at 27 years of age; diagnosis at 28 years of age; mildly obese (BMI 36); hypertension;
significant proximal weakness; primarily lower extremity weakness; ambulatory with history of frequent falls; needs to hang on to something while standing; knee, join, ankle, and hip pain while standing; cannot fully walk on heels; cannot walk on “tiptoes”; slightly exaggerated lumbar lordosis when walking; gait extremely tenuous; foot drop while walking; weakness in hands that affects grip, R>L; activities that require wrist flexion are difficult; difficulty with daily activities such as doing laundry and cooking;
myopathic motor unit potentials more in lower extremities than upper extremities with complex repetitive discharges; dysferlin absent on western blot and calpain reduced; elevated CK level (5,080); donor subject has 2 mutations in the DYSF gene ([c.1398-1G>A]+[c.2071C>T (pQ691X)]);
subject takes celebrex for joint pain; assistive devices include cane and wheelchair which is only used outside of the home for longer distances.
