Abstract

Recessive mutations in the ANO5 gene have recently been identified in patients with either limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2L (LGMD2L) or Miyoshi-like Myopathy (MMD3), collectively called anoctaminopathies. Our cohort of patients with anoctaminopathy shows a predominantly proximal pattern of weakness affecting the pelvic girdle and the lower limbs. Variable distal involvement is also observed, and sometimes presents as the first or predominant feature, similar to Miyoshi Myopathy. The upper extremities are affected only late in the disease process, usually with selective M.
