Defining clinical endpoints in limb girdle muscular dystrophy: a GRASP-LGMD study [PDF]

BMC Neurology
Background The Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMDs) are characterized by progressive weakness of the shoulder and hip girdle muscles as a result of over 30 different genetic mutations.

Near range path navigation using LGMD visual neural networks

, 2009
In this paper, we proposed a method for near range path navigation for a mobile robot by using a pair of biologicallyinspired visual neural network – lobula giant movement detector (LGMD).

Unraveling the Molecular Basis of the Dystrophic Process in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy LGMD-R12 by Differential Gene Expression Profiles in Diseased and Healthy Muscles

Cells, 2022
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R12 (LGMD-R12) is caused by two mutations in anoctamin-5 (ANO5). Our aim was to identify genes and pathways that underlie LGMD-R12 and explain differences in the molecular predisposition and susceptibility between three ...
