Abstract
The hallmark of Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), the most common CMD in Japan, is cortical migration defects. Those who can sit on their own or slide on their buttocks are classified as having the typical form, and reportedly account for 75% of FCMD patients. Peak motor function was reportedly achieved at ages 2 to 8 years, and patients frequently become bed-ridden before age 15. Steroid therapy is now part of Duchenne muscular dystrophy care recommendations and is in widespread routine use.
