Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2Q

Synonyms
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2Q; MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY, LIMB-GIRDLE, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE 17
Modes of inheritance
Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)

Summary

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-17 (LGMDR17) is characterized by early childhood onset of proximal muscle weakness and atrophy without skin involvement. One family has shown rapid progression of the disorder in adolescence (summary by Gundesli et al., 2010). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, see LGMDR1 (253600). [from OMIM]
