Distal myopathies (MPD) are a group of heterogeneous inherited primary muscle disorders classified into one broad category due to the presentation of weakness involving the distal skeletal muscles. Clinical presentation is characterized by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy beginning in the hands, forearm, lower legs or feet. Currently almost 20 different entities of distal muscular dystrophies have been genetically determined. Half of the genes have been associated with distal phenotypes only, whereas the other genes can manifest also with other than distal phenotypes. Most of the genes code for structural and functional components of the sarcomere. The genes responsible for the pathologically defined category of myofibrillar myopathy are frequently display a distal phenotype.
