Excerpt
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I (LGMD2I) is one of the more frequent autosomal-recessive LGMD forms in young and middle adulthood due to mutations in fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene
. It has been found to occur in 2.6–37% of different LGMD populations [
1‐
11]. The phenotype due to the common homozygous c.826C>A,
FKRP mutation is rather mild, so the rate of undetected homozygous carriers is estimated to be high. …
