Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R1 (LGMDR1) can be caused by recessive CAPN3 mutations accounting for the majority of LGMD. To date, no systemic evaluation has been performed to analyse the detrimental and normal mutations on CAPN3 and its hotspots. METHODS: CAPN3 variants (n=112) from a total of 124 patients with LGMDR1 recruited in four centres in China were retrospectively analysed. Then...
