Abstract excerpt
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) designate diverse types of muscular dystrophies that predominantly affect proximal skeletal muscles. Although both autosomal recessive and dominant forms exist, the majority of cases are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Since the spectrum of genetic variants that cause this disorder is quite broad, next-generation sequencing techniques are the best diagnostic...
