Abstract
A new type of X‐linked muscular dystrophy is described in a family in which 7 men had boyhood onset of progressive dystrophy involving muscles of the shoulder and back but not the calves or face. The scapula‐back muscles are affected, but the calf muscles are normal. All patients are still able to walk. The oldest patient is now 37 years old. The muscular dystrophy has been specified by electromyography, pathologic tissue microscopic examination, electron microscopic study, and elevated CK. This type of muscular dystrophy has not been reported previously.Keywords
