Limb–girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are caused by mutations in multiple genes. This review article presents 39 genes associated with LGMDs. Some forms are inherited in a …

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of rare muscular dystrophies that cause muscle weakness in your shoulders, upper arms, hips and upper legs. There are several …

In 1954 J.N. Walton (Fig. 1) and F.J. Nattrass introduced the expression limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) to identify patients of both genders who presented onset of muscle …

LGMD is a genetic and heritable disorder, due to one of many genetic mutations of proteins involved in muscle function. All currently identified LGMDs have an inheritance pattern that is …

Herein, we review the LGMD pathway, starting with the genetic mutations that encode proteins involved in muscle maintenance and repair, and including the genotype–phenotype …

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is characterized by a predominantly proximal distribution of weakness. It includes a number of heterogeneous genetic disorders that vary in severity, …

2019年10月1日 · Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a group of rare progressive genetic disorders that are characterized by wasting (atrophy) and weakness of the voluntary …

2025年3月1日 · Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a diverse and heterogeneous group of disorders that exhibit autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance patterns. With a …

2012年12月1日 · An autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2) with mild mental retardation is allelic to Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) caused by a mutation in the …

There are 33 forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), and they are classified by the genetic flaws that appear to cause them. MDA-supported research was behind much of the …
