Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy type R1 (LGMDR1) is caused by mutations in CAPN3 and is the most common type of recessive LGMD. Even with the use of whole-exome sequencing (WES), only one mutant allele of CAPN3 is found in a significant number of LGMDR ...

LGMD D3 in Uruguay presents as a slowly progressive adult‐onset scapulo‐pelvic‐peroneal dystrophy. Pathogenic variant c.1132G>C p.(Asp378His) was confirmed in all participants. This is the largest LGMD D3 cluster and first report of sex‐dependent age of onset.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Molecular Diagnosis of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Using Next-Generation Sequencing Panels. [PDF]
Introduction: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous muscle disorders. We aimed to share the diagnostic yield of an NGS gene panel containing LGMD-related genes and our experience with LGMD.  ...

Experiences in the molecular genetic and histopathological evaluation of calpainopathies
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.

Inherited myopathies in patients from Sub-Saharan Africa: results from a retrospective cohort
© 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.The clinical epidemiology of inherited myopathies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unknown but likely underdiagnosed due to problems of scientific research and social issues. We report a case series of patients born

All the LGMDs molecularly confirmed in this study were the ones clinically suspected to be DMD/BMD. Here in this study, we have attempted to understand age at onset in the patients, could be a differentiating factor to distinguish DMD/BMD from other muscular dystrophies.

Expert panel curation of 31 genes in relation to limb girdle muscular dystrophy
Abstract Objective Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal conditions with some degree of phenotypic homogeneity. LGMD is defined as having onset >2 years of age with progressive proximal weakness, elevated serum creatine kinase levels and dystrophic features on muscle biopsy.
