Progressive asymmetric proximal and distal limb weakness was the commonest symptom (57.1%). All patients had motor symptoms along with non\u2010specific symptoms such as cramps from the onset. Easy fatigability, decremental response along with ptosis were noted in two patients, which was a novel finding. Gynaecomastia and tongue wasting with fasciculations were universal findings. All five patients with nerve conduction studies showed sensorimotor neuropathy. Magnetic resonance imaging muscle done in two patients showed a prominent moth\u2010eaten appearance in the thigh and posterior leg compartment in one patient. The mean cytosine\u2010adenine\u2010guanine repeats were 44 \u00b1\u20093.7, and there was no association between age of onset or severity with repeat length. Only one patient required an assistive device for ambulation after 15\u2009years of symptom onset.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study showed phenotypic heterogeneity in the Indian cohort. The age of onset was earlier with a slowly progressive indolent course as compared with other ethnic cohorts. This highlights the importance of considering the KD diagnosis in patients with the indolent course and suspected ALS diagnosis even with ptosis and fatigability in an appropriate clinical context.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.16205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,14]],"date-time":"2023-08-14T14:15:15Z","timestamp":1692022515000},"page":"455-460","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical
