Congenital progressive muscular dystrophy, a group of rare muscle diseases caused by different genetic variations. The mutated gene gradually impairs muscle cell function. Patients usually develop early symptoms within a few months after birth, including hypotonia, muscle weakness, and joint contracture. Some patients suffer from breathing problems due to respiratory muscle weakness, and mouth muscle weakness, resulting in difficulty in swallowing and eating.
