Funded Activity Summary

Diagnosis of Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LMGD) is complex with only about 50% success rate. New technology, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) can identify a diagnosis substantially quicker and cheaper than standard methods, however is only available in research. The results of this study will form a core resource that can be augmented in the future to identify rarer forms of LGMD, so that all patients can be provided with a genetic diagnosis.
