Protein and genetic diagnosis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A: The yield and the pitfalls
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) is the most frequent form of LGMD worldwide. Comprehensive clinical assessment and laboratory testing is essential for diagnosis of LGMD2A. Muscle immunoblot analysis of calpain-3 is the most useful tool to

Immunohistochemical analysis of calpain 3: Advantages and limitations in diagnosing LGMD2A
Immunoblot is currently the preferred laboratory test to assist the diagnosis of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2A (calpainopathy). To assess whether immunohistochemistry may offer a reliable alternative screening we used two antibodies, Calp3-2C4

A gene for a recessive form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2A) has been localized to chromosome 15. A physical map of the 7-cM candidate 15q15.1-q21.1 region has been constructed by means of a 10-12-Mb continuum of overlapping YAC clones.
