“…Later studies revealed that 2.5 to 14% of patients with MD had a hereditary predisposition. (3,5,7) The three siblings with MD symptoms described by Brown (14) in 1949 were children of first cousins, which suggested an autosomal recessive mode of transmission. The findings of Birgersson et al (3) were compatible with autosomal dominant inheritance, possibly with incomplete penetrance, in most of their families, whereas the pedigrees in a few families were congruent with autosomal recessive inheritance.…”

“…Familial MD was first described by Brown (1), with several authors confirming this observation (2Y6). In a Japanese study of 520 patients with MD, 5.8% had close relatives who have the disease (7), and in a United Kingdom study comprising 190 patients with MD, 2.5% had family histories of MD (5). In two studies, the disease was classified as familial in origin in 14% (3) and 10.4% (8) of patients.…”

“…5 MD is almost exclusively reported in adults, with \3% of cases estimated to occur at age \18 years. [33][34][35][36] The disease is most prevalent between ages 40 and 60 years, with peak onset in the 40s to 50s. [37][38][39][40][41][42] In a large US claimsbased study, the prevalence increased with age, ranging from 61 per 100,000 patients aged 18 to 34 years to 440 per 100,000 patients aged .65 years.…”
