Upon careful review of the literature, we found another multi‐generational family with dominantly inherited COL12A1‐related myopathy in which one older adult patient (aged 79) was described to have distal greater than proximal weakness.6 Thus, together with our findings, we propose dominantly inherited collagen XII myopathic EDS as part of the differential diagnosis of distal myopathy in adults. This evidence concerns the gene COL12A1 and distal myopathy.
