Congenital muscular dystrophy and cerebellar atrophy

Two siblings and two other unrelated patients had congenital muscular weakness and dystrophic changes but normal immunocytochemical stainings for merosin, dystrophin, and dystrophin-related proteins on muscle biopsy. All had marked ataxia and cerebellar atrophy or hypoplasia. Cerebral white matter and cortical organization appeared normal.
