leg and foot deformities, a multitude of genetic defects, blindness, deafness, mammary tumors, hernias and thoroughly rotted mouths.
Symptoms of the disease, which typically appear in adolescence or early adulthood, include muscle weakness
and decreased muscle size, loss of sensation
and deformities in the
feet and legs.
