    Main clinical features
  • classical form with muscle cramps with exertion and myoglobinuria with extreme exertion
  • severe infantile form, leading to death during childhood, onset in infancy with hypotonia, limb weakness, progressive myopathy and respiratory failure leading to death early in the childhood
