Serum enzyme studies in muscle disease: Part III Serum creatine kinase activity in relatives of patients with the Duchenne type of muscular dystrophy

Abstract

The magnitude of the elevations found in serum enzymes when related to the clinical and gene- tic findings is of additional value in distinguishing between the various types of muscular dystrophy and in separating them from the acquired myopathies (Pearce et al., 1964b).
