Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in protein O-mannosyltransferase 2 (POMT2) (MIM#607439) have been identified in severe congenital muscular dystrophy such as Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) and milder limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2N (LGMD2N). The aim of this study is to investigate the genetic causes in patients with LGMD2N. METHODS: Three patients diagnosed with mild limb-girdle muscular dystrophy were recruited. The...
