Does LAMA2-RD affect the bones?

LAMA2-RD can indirectly affect bone health and posture. Reduced movement and muscle weakness can lower bone density (making bones less strong), which increases the risk of fractures. Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and contractures (joint stiffening that limits movement) are also common. Regular monitoring and early action are important.
