Sponsored diagnostic testing programs for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2F (LGMD2F)
Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2F (LGMD2F) is a rare, inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the SGCD gene, which encodes δ-sarcoglycan. The condition leads to progressive weakness of the shoulder and hip muscles, often beginning in childhood or adolescence. Over time, individuals may experience difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or rising from the floor, and some may develop cardiomyopathy or respiratory involvement.
