  1. a, Walking ability was scored as follows [4]: 1, asymptomatic hyperCKemia with or without exercise-induced myalgia; 2, running with difficulties; 3, unable to run; 4, ambulant with support; 5, non-ambulant. b, Disease severity was determined by hierarchical analysis (Fig. 1b): 1, hyperCKemia without muscle weakness; 2, hyperCKemia with mild muscle weakness; 3, hyperCKemia with intermediate muscle weakness; 4, hyperCKemia with severe muscle weakness. LGMD, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy; CMT1A, Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A; F, female; M, male; CK, creatine kinase
