Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetic muscle disorder causing weakness and
wasting of the proximal limb musculature. When ambulation is lost, the attention must be …

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are clinically and genetically heterogenous
presentations displaying predominantly proximal muscle weakness due to the loss of …

Dysferlin-deficient limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD R2), also referred to as
