Starts in either adulthood or childhood

• Creates muscle weakness and atrophy in hips and shoulders

• LGMD’s progression is dependent on the age of onset

A

Limb-Girdle

88
Q

• It is a rare genetic disorder passed from parents to child. It’s caused by the absence of an enzyme that helps break down fatty substances. These fatty substances, called gangliosides, build up to toxic levels in the brain and spinal cord and affect the function of the nerve cells.

A

Tay-Sachs Disease

89
Q

• In the most common and severe form, signs and symptoms start to show up at about 3 to 6 months of age. As the disease progresses, development slows and muscles begin to weaken. Over time, this leads to seizures, vision and hearing loss, paralysis, and other major issues. Children with this form of Tay-Sachs disease typically live only a few years.

• Less commonly, some children have the juvenile form of disease and may live into their teen years. Rarely, some adults have a late-onset form of disease which is often less severe than forms that begin in childhood.

• It is a strong, painful contraction or tightening of a muscle that comes on suddenly and lasts from a few seconds to several minutes. It often occurs in the legs. This condition is also being called Charley horse. Leg cramps that occur during nighttime are usually sudden spasms, or tightening, of muscles in the calf.

• Causes maybe due to overuse of a muscle, dehydration, muscle strain or simply holding a position for a prolonged period can cause a muscle cramp. Other factors can be inadequate blood supply, nerve compression and mineral depletion.
