Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I (LGMD2I) is due to mutations in the fukutin-related protein gene (FKRP), encoding a putative glycosyltransferase involved in alpha-dystroglycan processing. To further characterize the molecular pathogenesis of LGMD2I, we conducted a histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural and molecular analysis of ten muscle biopsies from patients with molecularly diagnosed...
