Abstract purpose of review As a group, the limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are
the fourth most prevalent genetic muscle disease, yet they are still not well known or …

Fukutin-related protein (FKRP) is a glycosyltransferase involved in the functional
glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (DG), a key component in the link between the cytoskeleton …

The muscular dystrophies encompass a broad range of pathologies with varied clinical
outcomes. In the case of patients carrying defects in fukutin-related protein (FKRP), these …

Objective Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R9 (LGMD R9) is an autosomal recessive
muscle disease for which there is currently no causative treatment. The development of …

Fukutin-related protein (FKRP) is a glycosyltransferase involved in glycosylation of alpha-
dystroglycan (α-DG). Mutations in FKRP are associated with muscular dystrophies (MD) …

Pathogenic variants localized in the gene coding for the Fukutin-Related Protein (FKRP) are
responsible for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 9 (LGMDR9), Congenital Muscular …

Mutation in the fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene causes alpha-dystroglycanopathies, a
