Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic mutations in the four sarcoglycan genes, designated SGCA, SGCB, SGCD and SGCG, are responsible for a subgroup of autosomal, recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD 2C-F), also called sarcoglycanopathies. For the present study, we designed a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay, targeting all 30 coding exons and a non-coding exon of these four genes. The assay uses...
