Collagen VI myopathy [DS:H01341] Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD/MDC) [DS:H00590]
Description
Myosclerosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by nonsense mutation of COL6A2. This disease is one of the collagen VI myopathies, characterized by difficulty in walking in early childhood, toe walking, and progressive contractures of calf muscles. In the early 30s the muscles are slender with a firm woody consistency and associated with contractures that restrict range of motion of many joints.

Description
Bethlem myopathy is one of the collagen VI myopathies, caused by mutation of COL6A. Bethlem myopathy is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, but a rare autosomal recessive inheritance has recently been reported. This disease is characterized by a combination of proximal muscle weakness and contractures of finger, elbow, and ankle joints.

Description
Ullrich disease or Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) is a severe congenital disorder characterized clinically by generalized muscle weakness, contractures of the proximal joints and hyperextensibility of the distal joints and begins from birth or early infancy. Mutations in the three collagen VI genes COL6A1, COL6A2 and COL6A3 cause Ullrich disease.
