Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The case of stiff-person syndrome with benign course in 16-years old patient is presented. The initial clinical signs of the disease were observed in infancy with retarded development of motor functions and skeleton muscle lumps. The diagnosis was made using generally accepted clinical and electromyographical criteria. Aspects of differential diagnosis, pathogenesis and clinical course polymorphism in early-onset cases of the disease are discussed.
