Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive progressive muscular dystrophies may be clinically subclassified into limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and distal myopathy (DM), each clinical form being genetically heterogeneous. Genes for LGMD type 2B and Miyoshi myopathy (a form of DM) have been mapped to essentially the same region on chromosome 2p. We described recently a large inbred family with autosomal recessive muscular...
