A disease that is difficult to predict: regional distribution and phenotypic, histopathological and genetic findings in McArdle disease
McArdle disease remains underdiagnosed due to its variable clinical presentation and limited access to advanced diagnostic tools. This study underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that integrates clinical assessment, muscle biopsy, and molecular analysis. Increased awareness and training among healthcare providers are critical for early recognition and intervention. Future research should focus on expanding genetic databases and exploring targeted therapies to improve outcomes in this challenging condition.
