The limb-1G (LGMD1G) is a very rare genetic disease from the group of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy , the autosomal - dominant inherited.

The disease has so far been described in 12 members of a Brazilian family. The causative gene was published in 2014. It is about HNRNPDL, a gene that codes for the RNA processing protein D-like heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein .

Clinical picture

The disease manifests itself in adulthood between the ages of 30 and 40. Clinically, the disease is characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness . In addition, were flexion contractures of the fingers and toes described. The creatine kinase was mostly elevated in the members of the family.
