Popis: OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that we will be able to detect change in motor outcome measures over time in a cohort with mutations in FKRP. METHODS: Individuals with documented FKRP mutations were evaluated annually with a battery of established motor outcome measures including limited quantitative myometry and timed function measures. Results were analyzed using random coefficient regression to determine annual change in each measure. Due to the nonlinear progression through the lifespan of the study participants, pediatric (A mutation showed improving motor performance in adolescence. Performance on the 10-meter walk/run was highly correlated with other timed function tests. CONCLUSIONS: There is a slow annual decline in motor function in adults with FKRP mutations that can be detected with standard motor outcome measures, while the results in the pediatric population were more variable and affected by genotype. Overall, these analyses provide a framework for development of future clinical trials. The dystroglycanopathies natural history study (Clinical Trial Readiness for the Dystroglycanopathies) may be found on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00313677).
