We have designed Multiplex Amplifiable Probe Hybridization (MAPH) probes for 28 exons of the sarcoglycan genes SGCA, SGCB, SGCG, and SGCD. The set was used to screen DNA from limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) patients for the presence of pathogenic deletion or duplication mutations. An unexpected heterozygous deletion of SGCG exon 7 was detected in a patient from a consanguineous family in which a known...
