Collagen VI myopathy [DS:H01341] Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD/MDC) [DS:H00590]
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.
