alpha-Sarcoglycanopathy (limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D, LGMD2D) is a recessive muscular disorder caused by deficiency in alpha-sarcoglycan, a transmembrane protein part of the dystrophin-associated complex. To date, no treatment exists for this disease. We constructed recombinant pseudotype-1 adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors expressing the human alpha-sarcoglycan cDNA from a ubiquitous or a...
