Abstract
ABSTRACT We report a 3‐year‐old male with congenital hypotonia, proximal contractures, and distal hyperlaxity. Exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous COL6A1 variant (c.2821C>T), classified as a variant of uncertain significance. The distinct phenotype strongly supports Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, expanding the gene's mutational spectrum in consanguineous populations.
