Brody’s Syndrome: a Disorder of Calcium Uptake by the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

  • Chapter
Exercise Intolerance and Muscle Contracture

Abstract

Lambert and Goldstein [1] published an abstract in 1957, describing a patient with impaired muscle relaxation, mimicking myotonia, in whom electromyographic recording of contracted muscles was “silent”. In 1969, Brody [2] published the first complete description of a patient who exhibited impaired muscle relaxation. He was the first to show impaired Ca2+-uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from the muscle of his patient.
