Hi
This disorder is a neuromuscular problem that is genetic. It is uncommon.
Symptoms usually starts in adolescence with winging of the scapular
(please note that winging of the scapular may also be from a discreet nerve virus which recovers with time).
You will need to see a neurology specialist for a diagnosis and advice.
