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 ]
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.
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.
