A rare genetic neuromuscular disease characterized by early onset of proximal or generalized muscle weakness, external ophthalmoplegia with or without ptosis, and joint contractures. Hypotonia, neonatal respiratory distress necessitating ventilation, and severe dysphagia have also been reported. The disease is of variable severity and non- or slowly progressive. Patients typically remain ambulatory. Muscle biopsy may show predominance of type 1 fibers, marked variability in fiber size, increased internal nuclei, and proliferation of perimysial and endomysial connective tissue.

Congenital lethal myopathy, Compton-North type is a rare, genetic, lethal, non-dystrophic congenital myopathy disorder characterized, antenatally, by fetal akinesia, intrauterine growth restriction and polyhydramnios, and, following birth, by severe neonatal hypotonia, severe generalized skeletal, bulbar and respiratory muscle weakness, multiple flexion contractures, and normal creatine kinase serum levels. Ultrastructurally, loss of integrin alpha7, beta2-syntrophin and alpha-dystrobrevin from the muscle sarcolemma and disruption of sarcomeres with disorganization of the Z band are observed.
