   25 meters at screening

Exclusion Criteria:

   syndrome within 6 months of screening, major surgery within 3 months of screening) or
   physical examination

   2. Clinically significant abnormalities in screening laboratory values that would render
   the subject unsuitable for inclusion

   3. Active infection requiring systemic antiviral or antimicrobial therapy that will not
   be completed prior to Study Day 1

   4. Unwilling or unable to comply with study procedures (e.g., muscle biopsies), including
   follow-up, as specified by this protocol, or unwillingness to cooperate fully with the
   Investigator

   5. Known history of or previous positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),

   treated, or pilomatricoma

   7. Treatment with another investigational drug, biologic agent, or device within one
   month of screening, or 5 half-lives of investigational agent, whichever is longer; any

   8. Recent history of or current drug or alcohol abuse

   9. History of bleeding tendency or ongoing oral anticoagulation

10. Developmental delay, intellectual disability, or significant behavioral
   neuropsychiatric manifestations

11. Thyroid dysfunction that is untreated (if on thyroid hormone replacement therapy, need
   to have adequate and stable replacement over the previous 6 months)

12. Implanted device for the treatment of cardiac problems (i.e., pacemaker or
   defibrillator)

13. Clinically significant abnormal ECG or echocardiogram, or significant symptoms of
   cardiac dysfunction at Screening

14. Have a seizure disorder

15. If being treated with testosterone, on a stable replacement dose (i.e., for
   hypogonadism)

16. Treatment with corticosteroids within 8 weeks prior to the first dose of Study Drug

17. History of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics to be used in the biopsy procedure or
   components thereof

18. Treatment with anti-myotonia medication within 30 days prior to screening. May
   include, but not be limited to: Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Procainamide, Disopyramide,
   Nifedipine, Acetazolamide, Clomipramine, Imipramine, Amytriptiline, Taurine, Quinine,
   Mexiletine

19. Have any condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator would make the subject
