The goal of this natural history study is to characterize the disease course, characteristics in paediatric population of LAMA2-RD (related dystrophies) patients. The aim of the study is to establish a well-described cohort of patients in France with LAMA2-RD for prospective follow-up and recruitment for future clinical trials. Participants will be follow up during a two years period regarding exhaustive aspects of the pathology: * Muscular function * Respiratory function * Cognitive phenotyping * Quality of life * Growth parameters * Biomarkers
