Abstract excerpt
Malignant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (MLGMD) was proposed by Miyoshi et al. in 1966 as a clinical and genetic entity of muscular dystrophy, with clinical features similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy but showing autosomal recessive inheritance. Recently, deficiency of alpha-sarcoglycan (adh...
