Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of genetic muscle disorders that primarily affect the muscles around the shoulders (pectoral girdle) and hips (pelvic girdle). It leads to progressive muscle weakness and wasting over time.
Types of LGMD
LGMD is classified into two major categories based on inheritance patterns:
1. LGMD Type 1 (Autosomal Dominant) – Less common, passed from one affected parent.
2. LGMD Type 2 (Autosomal Recessive) – More common, inherited when both parents a...
