Clinical Characteristics

The primary clinical features include:
•    Congenital muscular dystrophy with hypotonia
•    Delayed motor milestones
•    Brain malformations (e.g., cobblestone lissencephaly, ventriculomegaly)
•    Intellectual disability
•    Seizures
•    Eye abnormalities (e.g., myopia, retinal defects)
•    Feeding difficulties

The clinical severity varies significantly, with some individuals presenting with profound neurological impairment.

Recent literature highlights:
•    Wide variability in neuroimaging findings
•    Genotype-phenotype correlations
•    Overlap between severe congenital forms and milder limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD)-like phenotypes
