| Onset: | Usually by 10 years of age. |
| Symptoms: | Weakness and wasting of shoulder, upper arm and calf muscles; joint stiffening; fainting (because of cardiac abnormalities). |
| Progression: | Disease usually progresses slowly. Cardiac complications are common and sometimes require a pacemaker. |
| Inheritance: | Can be X-linked recessive, primarily affecting males, who inherit the disease through their mothers. Another type is autosomal dominant, meaning it can be inherited through either parent; an autosomal-recessive type occurs when a faulty gene is inherited from each parent. |
