Abstract
A slowly progressive form of muscular dystrophy was studied in a Dariusleut Hutterite kindred from a colony in west‐central Saskatchewan. The disorder combines some characteristics of the dominantly inherited facio‐scapulo‐humeral and the recessively inherited limb‐girdle types of muscular dystrophy. Intellect, vision, hearing, and sensations were normally preserved. Nerve conduction was also intact.
The disorder reported herein resembles a type of muscular dystrophy we previously described in the Manitoba Schmiedeleut Hutterites [Shokeir and Kobrinsky, 1976]. This condition, which affects both sexes, appears to be genetic in origin and recessively inhertited.
