For a short overview i recommend Victor and Adams "Principles of
Neurology", fifth edition. In my "international edition" on page 1220
and the following.
There is some confusion with terminology. The authors call these
diseases "Limb-Girdle Dystrophies (Scapulohumeral and Pelvifemoral
Muscular Dystrophy). Walton et al. grouped it as "limb-girdle dystophies
of Erb." The desease seems to overlap with Duchenne-Becker and
Landouzy-Déjerine types. The authors cite an old article which was
written by Lamy and de Grouchy: "l´hérédité de la myopathie (formes
basses). J Génetique Humaine 3:219,1954.
Hope You can get these articles;
