Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically heterogeneous group of rare muscular dystrophies that share a set of clinical characteristics. [7] It is characterised by progressive muscle wasting which affects predominantly hip and shoulder muscles. [ 8 ]
LAMA2 muscular dystrophy; Other names: Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A) or Merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy, Late-onset LAMA2 muscular dystrophy or limb girdle muscular dystrophy 23 (LGMDR23), Laminin subunit alpha-2 muscular dystrophy. Diagrammatic illustration of laminin-211 or Laminin-alpha2 chain.
Calpainopathy is the most common type of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). [2] It preferentially affects the muscles of the hip girdle and shoulder girdle. No disease modifying pharmaceuticals have been developed as of 2019, although physical therapy, lifestyle modification, and orthopedic surgery can address symptoms.
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) as defined by the European Neuromuscular Centre in 2018. [1] [2] They are named by the following system: LGMD, recessive or dominant inheritance (R or D), order of discovery (number), affected protein. [1] LGMD D1 DNAJB6-related; LGMD D2 TNP03-related; LGMD D3 HNRNPDL-related; LGMD D4 calpain3-related
Bethlem myopathy is predominantly an autosomal dominant myopathy, classified as a congenital form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. [2] There are two types of Bethlem myopathy, based on which type of collagen is affected. [3] Bethlem myopathy 1 (BTHLM1) is caused by a mutation in one of the three genes coding for type VI collagen.
It is currently running a phase 3 trial for an investigational therapy for Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy. Sarepta Therapeutics has more than 40 candidates in its pipeline.
Glycogen storage disease type II (GSD-II), also called Pompe disease, and formerly known as GSD-IIa or Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy 2V, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder [1] which damages muscle and nerve cells throughout the body.
