AB Genetically  transmitted  neuromuscular  disorder  characterized  by  progressive  proximal  muscle  weakness.  It  is  characterized  by  a  progressive  muscle  wasting  that  affects  predominantly  hip  and  shoulder  muscles.  The  muscle  weakness  is  generally  symmetric,  solely  proximal,  and  very  slow  in  progression.  The  age  of  onset  is  variable  as  it  can  be  seen  in  childhood,  adolescence,  or  young  adulthood.  However,  it  is  usually  established  between  10  and  30  years  of  age.
