(d) Several subtypes of LGMDs are dystroglycanopathies, primarily caused by mutations in eight genes, including FKRP (R9), POMT1 (R11), FKTN (R13), POMT2 (R14), POMGnT1 (R15), GMPPB (R19), ISPD (R20), and POMGNT2 (R24), involved in the glycosylation of the alpha-dystroglycan pathway [15]. The gene discussed is POMT1; the disease is neuromuscular disease caused by qualitative or quantitative defects of alpha-dystroglycan.
