Distal muscular dystrophy (or distal myopathy) is a group of disorders characterized by onset in the hands or feet.

Many types involve dysferlin, but it has been suggested that not all cases do.[1]

Types include:

Name OMIM Locus
Miyoshi myopathy (in Japan)[2] 254130 DYSF at 2p13.3-p13.1
Distal myopathy with anterior tibial onset 606768 DYSF at 2p13.3-p13.1
Welander distal myopathy 604454  ? at 2p13[3]

DYSF is also associated with Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B.[4]
