Abstract excerpt
Sarcoglycanopathies (SGpathies) are highly frequent among severely affected limb-girdle muscular dystrophy patients. On the basis of the findings of 5 common mutations in the 4 sarcoglycan (SG) genes in the Brazilian population, we standardized a multiplex polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism methodology for their concomitant analysis in DNA samples. The test was able to confirm the...
