Dysferlin and myoferlin mutations cause muscle diseases: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B), Miyoshi myopathy (Dysferlin), and muscular dystrophy with cardiomyopathy (Myoferlin) (Bashir et al., 1998; Liu et al., 1998). This evidence concerns the gene MYOF and autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B.
