Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the range and severity of brain involvement, as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, in 27 patients with mutations in POMT1 (4), POMT2 (9), POMGnT1 (7), Fukutin (4), or LARGE (3), responsible for muscular dystrophies with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan (dystroglycanopathies). METHODS: Blinded review of magnetic resonance imaging brain scans from 27 patients with mutations in 1 of...
