Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F
MONDO:0011028Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F (LGMD2F) is a subtype of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy characterized by a variable age of onset of progressive weakness and wasting of the proximal skeletal muscles of the shoulder and pelvic girdles, frequently associated with progressive respiratory muscle impairment and cardiomyopathy. Calf hypertrophy, muscle cramps and elevated serum creatine kinase levels are also observed. Neuropsychomotor development is usually normal.
Also known as: delta-sarcoglycanopathy, LGMD2F, SGCD autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy caused by mutation in SGCD, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy due to delta-sarcoglycan deficiency, muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal recessive 6, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F, muscular dystrophy limb-girdle with delta-sarcoglyan deficiency

Could a short course of steroids calm a dangerous heart rhythm?
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis trial tests whether an 8-week course of the immunosuppressive drug prednisone can reduce episodes of ventricular tachycardia (a potentially fatal fast heart rhythm) and improve heart function in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and confirmed heart inflammation. Partic…

Super MRI could spot hidden heart damage
Diagnosis OngoingThis study tests whether a new, more powerful 7 Tesla MRI can better detect scarring and swelling in the heart muscle of people with cardiomyopathy. Researchers will scan 13 adults aged 20-70 to see if the higher-resolution images improve diagnosis. The goal is to see if this adv…
