It is diagnosed by muscle biopsy and/or genetic testing. There are more than 10 genes related to the onset of this disorder. A neurologist or neuromuscular specialist would schedule the testing. Follow-up with specialists in pulmonary, cardiology, GI, and orthopedics should occur soon. Other specialists will likely be needed down the road.
