Edited by Yukio Fukuyama, a researcher in in congenital muscular dystrophy, this volume aims to bring fresh impetus to new areas and areas of research in congenital muscular dystrophy which seem to have been neglected since the 1940s. The recognition and delineation of Fukuyama type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) as a distinct clinico-genetic entity, dating back to 1960, brought about a revolutionary turn in the approach to CMD research. Knowledge of FCMD was gradually disseminated from Japan to the rest of the world, triggering great interest, and thereby facilitating a comparative study of experiences between different institutions worldwide, which led to the re-evaluation of previously overlooked related syndromes. Thus, recent progress in CMD research has been rapid and the pace continues to accelerate. This progress raises challenges for anyone attempting to closely follow the breakthroughs which are taking place daily in various corners of the world. To promote further progress in this research, however, acquisition of up-to-date information is necessary.
