  1. The age of medical examination and biopsy sampling is indicated. Medical research conceal (MRC) score is a non-linear clinical measure for muscle strength. MRC was determined in left and right quadriceps and the average of both legs is shown. An MRC smaller than 5 indicates clinical muscle weakness. Clinical investigation was carried out by a single doctor and was performed at the same day of biopsy sampling. Clinical muscle weakness is not found in pre-symptomatic and in controls subjects (ND).
