Michael H. Brooke, MD, and Hans E. Neville, MD. Two patients with a congenital myopathy
in whom muscle biopsy revealed very unusual structures, which we have termed “reducing
bodies,” are reported. The purpose of this paper is to present the clinical history in these
children and to characterize the properties of the reducing bodies when seen with the light
and the electron microscope.
