Fukutin-related protein (FKRP) mutations cause a broad spectrum of muscular dystrophies, from a relatively mild limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 9 (LGMDR9) to severe congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD). This study aims to report two siblings belonging to a non-consanguineous Tunisian family harboring a novel compound heterozygous FKRP variant and presenting a mild LGDMR9 phenotype. For mutation screening,...
