Nutritional status evaluation in patients affected by Bethlem Myopathy and Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy

Nutritional status evaluation in patients affected by Bethlem Myopathy and Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy

Collagen VI mutations lead to disabling myopathies like Bethlem Myopathy (BM) and Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (UCMD). We have investigated the nutritional and metabolic status of one UCMD and seven BM patients (5 female, 3 male, mean age 31 ± 9 years) in order to find a potential metabolic...
