Sarcoglycanopathies are relatively rare progressive muscular dystrophies. They belong to the so-called group of limb--girdle muscular dystrophies. They are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Their phenotype resembles dystrophinopathies, because of proximal muscle weakness and frequent

BACKGROUND
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a phenotypic expression of a heterogeneous group of diseases and sarcoglycanopathy is one of the causes of LGMD. There is only one study on sarcoglycanopathies in the Indian literature. No data is available from northern India.
METHODS
All cases of

Sarcoglycanopathies are relatively rare progressive muscular dystrophies with autosomal recessive inheritance; which belong to the group of limb girdle muscular dystrophies. The phenotype resembles dystrophinopathies due to proximal muscle weakness and calf hypertrophy. Reports from the Indian

BACKGROUND
Sarcoglycanopathies are a group or autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies designated as α, β, γ, or δ sarcogycanopathy.
METHODS
It is a retrospective analysis of case series.
RESULTS
Sixty six patients immunohistochemically confirmed to have sarcoglycan deficiency were included in the

BACKGROUND
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy presents with heterogeneous clinical and molecular features. The primary characteristic of this disorder is proximal muscular weakness with variable age of onset, speed of progression, and intensity of symptoms. Sarcoglycanopathies, which are a subgroup of

Mutations in the SGCA gene cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D (LGMD2D). We report a family with three affected siblings with a mild phenotype consisting of late onset glutei and axial muscle weakness produced by a new mutation in the SGCA gene leading to a partial expression of the

The so-called sarcoglycanopathies form a subgroup of four genetically closely related autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD2C-F) caused by mutations of the α-, β-, γ-, and δ-sarcoglycan genes. All four sarcoglycans are glycosylated transmembrane proteins and form a tetrameric

Sarcoglycanopathies (SG) are autosomic recessive muscular dystrophies, secondary to mutations of the sarcoglycan complex. Clinical pictures include muscle weakness affecting mainly the proximal limb girdle musculature. We review heart involvement in this group of disease.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy types 2D and 2F (LGMD 2D and 2F) are autosomal recessive disorders caused by mutations in the alpha- and delta sarcoglycan genes, respectively, leading to severe muscle weakness and degeneration. The cause of the disease has been well characterized and a number of

Two patients with exercise-induced myalgias and rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria were evaluated with muscle biopsy and comprehensive myopathy next generation sequencing (NGS) gene panels. Genetic analysis revealed homozygosity for two known pathogenic SGCA mutations (R284C in Patient 1 and V247M in

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a class of disorders encompassing many forms of this disease. Variation exists between the inheritance patterns, genes responsible, course of disease and symptoms, with the cohesive factor among these disorders being the predominance of proximal muscle weakness.

Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) types 2D and 2F are caused by mutations in the genes encoding for α- and δ-sarcoglycan, respectively, leading to progressive muscle weakness. Mouse models exist for LGMD2D (Sgca-/-) and 2F (Sgcd-/-). In a previous natural history study, we described the

Episodic myoglobinuria is a well-recognized complication of metabolic myopathies, and may occur in Duchenne and Becker dystrophies, but has only rarely been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. We describe an unusual presentation, with rhabdomyolysis, of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

An 11-year-old white female presented with progressive proximal muscle weakness and marked calf hypertrophy. Muscle biopsy showed severe dystrophy with normal expression of dystrophin. There was complete absence of the 50kDa dystrophin-associated glycoprotein (alpha-sarcoglycan). DNA analysis showed

We describe a couple of siblings who have a homozygous mutation in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene and present a striking clinical difference in their phenotype; the brother is asymptomatic, and the sister is affected with mild limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
