Abstract excerpt
A unique inbred Avar family from an isolate of the Dagestan highland was studied. Unusual phenotypic expression of autosomal recessive progressive muscular dystrophy was revealed in 12 members of this family from three generations. Limb-girdle (proximal) muscular dystrophy (LGMD) was detected in nine patients, while the other three patients displayed typical distal myopathy (DM). Genetic linkage analysis with...
