The phenotype of calpainopathy: diagnosis based on a multidisciplinary approach [PDF]

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2001
Calpainopathy (LGMD2A) is the most common type of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. We performed a systematic clinical evaluation in 13 calpainopathy patients from 11 families, with particular attention to the pattern of muscle involvement. Eleven patients had a muscle biopsy with deficiency of calpain 3 on western blotting. The other

Calpainopathy—A Survey of Mutations and Polymorphisms [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Genetics, 1999
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized mainly by symmetrical and selective atrophy of the proximal limb muscles. It derives from defects in the human CAPN3 gene, which encodes the skeletal muscle-specific member of the calpain family.

Molecular and genetic features of calpainopathy

Genes & Cells, 2022
Calpainopathy is the most common form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, prevalence in the population is approximately 1 in 15,00042,700 individuals. In the Russian Federation, there is an insufficient number of studies, which researched prevalence of calpainopathy among patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, but according to available data ...

Experiences in the molecular genetic and histopathological evaluation of calpainopathies

neurogenetics, 2022
Calpainopathy is mainly characterized by symmetric and progressive weakness of proximal muscles. Several reports showed that the most common LGMD subtype is LGMDR1 or calpainopathy, which had previously been defined as LGMD2A. Until now, more than 500 likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants in the CAPN3 gene have been reported.

Calpainopathy presenting as foot drop in a 41 year old

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2010
Mutations in the gene encoding muscle-specific calpain 3 protease cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. Calpainopathy is characterised by progressive symmetrical atrophy of pelvic, scapular and trunk muscles with an elevated creatine kinase. Most patients develop symptoms in childhood and lose the ability to walk by the age of 40 years.
