| Description | Histopathologic and molecular pathologic findings were examined in 14 LGMD2A patients. Analysis of the CAPN3 gene was performed at the mRNA level and/or DNA level. Immunoblot analysis revealed the deficiency of p94 in all genetically confirmed cases, and secondary dysferlin deficiency was demonstrated in 6 patients. In muscle tissues of two patients, a neurogenic pattern simulating neurogenic lesion was observed. |
