Alpha-dystroglycanopathies are a group of rare inherited neuromuscular disorders characterized by reduced glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG). Mutations in six genes (POMT1, POMT2, POMGNT1, FKTN, FKRP, and LARGE) have been identified in patients with alpha-dystroglycanopathies. Due to an extremely broad clinical spectrum and relatively poor phenotype-genotype correlation, diagnosis of...
