Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...
