Background The collagen Ⅵ-related myopathy known as Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy(UCMD) is an early-onset disease that combines substantial muscle weakness with striking distal laxity and progressive contractures.This disease entity is rarely reported in Chinese patients.Methods We report the clinical features and pathological findings of four unrelated UCMD patients diagnosed in our center during 2007-2012.
