Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Limb girdle muscular dystrophy recessive type 1 (LGMDR1, Previously LGMD2A) is characterized by inactivating mutations in CAPN3. Despite the significant burden of muscular dystrophy in India, and particularly of LGMDR1, its genetic characterization and possible phenotypic manifestations are yet unidentified. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed bidirectional CAPN3 sequencing in 95 LGMDR1 patient samples...
