My son is 2 year old, he is not trying to stanup by his own from sitting to standing position. He can walk and sit properly. Also nit speaking too many words, 3-4 words he speaks. Actually we never tried to learn him words. We consulted with Pediatric. He suggested blood test CPK and Vitamin D. His CPK is under control at 86 and Vitamin D is 14.6 which is insufficient. Our next appointment with Dr. is next week. He said first he will check the blood report and than suggest for MRI. From the blood test can MRI avoided. He said it may be muscle problem. Pl advise. Thanks.

DMD is the most common hereditary neuromuscular disease and it is progressive. Baby boys are often normal at birth and delayed walking may only be identified retrospectively, with symptoms really appearing between 4 and 6 years of age. Hypotonia of any cause - eg, Down's syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, Williams' syndrome and so on.
