Abstract excerpt
The diagnosis of isolated heterozygotes for recessive LGMD is quite difficult because no specific biochemical or protein assays are available, and the molecular analysis is not feasible due to the wide genetic heterogeneity. We investigated a series of definite heterozygotes for different forms of LGMD to determine whether the carrier status will result in a detectable protein defect in muscle biopsy. Definite...
