Genetic variability in Iranian limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B patients: An evidence of a founder effect

Genetic variability in Iranian limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B patients: An evidence of a founder effect

Abstract Background Dysferlinopathies are a group of autosomal recessive limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) caused by mutations in DYSF (#603,009). This gene encodes a transmembrane protein called dysferlin. Since there are few reports on Iranian dysferlinopathy patients, we tried to identify...
