Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophies

Neurologic Clinics, 2020
The limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are genetic muscle diseases with primary skeletal muscle involvement in persons with the ability to walk independently at some point in the disease course. They usually have increased creatine kinase levels along with patterns of fatty and fibrous deposition on muscle imaging and/or dystrophic features on ...

The Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies

Continuum, 2022
The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a group of inherited muscle disorders with a common feature of limb-girdle pattern of weakness, caused by over 29 individual genes. This article describes the classification scheme, common subtypes, and the management of individuals with LGMD.Advances in genetic testing and next-generation sequencing ...

The Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies

Neurologic Clinics, 2014
A collection of more than 30 genetic muscle diseases that share certain key features, limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive weakness and muscle atrophy of the hips, shoulders, and proximal extremity muscles with postnatal onset. This article discusses clinical, laboratory, and histologic features of the 6 most prevalent limb-

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2003
The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a group of muscular dystrophies that share a similar clinical phenotype. Despite this clinical homogeneity, at least 15 different genetic forms of LGMD are now known. Some of these share pathogenetic mechanisms with other forms of muscular dystrophy, such as the sarcoglycanopathies (LGMD 2C-F) and the ...

Limb–girdle muscular dystrophies

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2008
The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date analysis of current knowledge about limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs).Over the last few years, new and interesting studies have been published on LGMD. New LGMD genes have been discovered and the clinical and genetic heterogeneity in this group of muscular dystrophies has been further enlarged ...

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies

Continuum
This article reviews the current classification system, common subtypes, differential diagnosis, diagnostic algorithms, current management strategies, and evolving therapeutic areas for limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs).There are currently five dominantly inherited LGMDs (LGMD-D1 to D5) and 29 recessively inherited LGMDs (LGMD-R1 to R29 ...
