AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY TYPE 2H

Alternate names

AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY TYPE 2H Is also known as sarcotubular myopathy, lgmd2h, muscular dystrophy, hutterite type, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy due to trim32 deficiency, muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, type 2h

Description

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2H (LGMD2H) is a mild subtype of autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy characterized by slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness and wasting of the pelvic and shoulder girdles with onset that usually occurs during the second or third decade of life. Clinical presentation is variable and can include calf psuedohypertrophy, joint contractures, scapular winging, muscle cramping and/or facial and respiratory muscle involvement.

Most common symptoms of AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY TYPE 2H

  • Muscle weakness
  • Pain
  • Gait disturbance
  • Myopathy
  • Areflexia
