Some types of LGMD present as distal muscular dystrophies. Although, this tool considers one of the more common forms of distal muscular dystrophy, GNE Myopathy (aka Nonaka Distal Myopathy or HIBM2), it does not consider all of the currently-identified types of distal MD. A listing of currently-identified types of distal MD is given at http://neuromuscular.wustl.edu/musdist/distal.html
