Redefining Dysferlinopathy Phenotypes Based on Clinical Findings and Muscle Imaging Studies
Neurol 75:316-323,298, Paradas,C., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Splitting dysferlin myopathy into separate phenotypes does not reveal significant differences in terms of rate of progression, prognosis, genotype, or MRI pattern. The finding that proximal and distal muscles are already impaired in the MRI at onset in both MM and LGMD2B favors grouping all phenotypes under the term dysferlin myopathy.
