INTRODUCTION: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of clinically heterogeneous muscle disorders commonly manifesting proximal limb girdle muscle weakness. There have been more than 30 subtypes of LGMD associated with causative genes and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J (LGMD2J) is caused by mutations in the TTN gene.
