Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R8 (LGMD R8) is a rare autosomal recessive muscle disease caused by TRIM32 gene biallelic defects. The genotype-phenotype correlation of this disease has been reported poorly. Here, we report a Chinese family with two female LGMD R8 patients. METHODS: We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and Sanger sequencing on the proband. Meanwhile, the function of mutant TRIM32...
