Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy, type C5

Common Name(s)

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy, type C5

MDGDC5 is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy characterized by variable age at onset, normal cognition, and no structural brain changes ({2:Brockington et al., 2001}). It is part of a group of similar disorders resulting from defective glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (DAG1; {128239}), collectively known as 'dystroglycanopathies' ({12:Mercuri et al., 2006}). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type C, see MDDGC1 ({609308}).
