Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the genes encoding the dystrophin-associated sarcoglycan proteins (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) (primary sarcoglycanopathies) have recently been shown to cause some cases of the genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies (limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD...
