SGCD Homozygous Nonsense Mutation (p.Arg97∗) Causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2F (LGMD2F) in a Consanguineous Family, a Case Report
Published 2019-01-01“…Direct targeted next generation sequencing was performed for the single affected individual (VI-1) followed by Sanger sequencing.Results: Targeted next generation sequencing revealed a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (c.289C>T; p.Arg97∗) in the exon 3 of the delta-sarcoglycan (SGCD) gene, that introduces a premature stop codon (TCA), resulting in a nonsense mediated decay or a truncated protein product.Discussion and Conclusion: This is the first report of LGMD2F caused by an SGCD variant in a Pakistani population. …”
