MeSH Heading: Muscular Dystrophies, Limb-Girdle
Tree Number(s): C05.651.534.500.280; C10.668.491.175.500.149; C16.320.577.280
Unique ID: D049288
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049288
Scope Note: A heterogenous group of inherited muscular dystrophy that can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. There are many forms (called LGMDs) involving genes encoding muscle membrane proteins such as the sarcoglycan (SARCOGLYCANS) complex that interacts with DYSTROPHIN. The disease is characterized by progressing wasting and weakness of the proximal muscles of arms and legs around the HIPS and SHOULDERS (the pelvic and shoulder girdles).
