Presentation
At present, the genetic classification is becoming too complex, since the acronym LGMD has also been used for a number of other myopathic disorders with overlapping phenotypes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients with an onset in the early teens, show a more severe phenotype with a rapid disease course, while adult onset patients present a slower course. [archive.org]

Weakness

The distribution of weakness includes a limb-girdle pattern, with shoulder and hip girdle muscle involvement; a humeroperoneal pattern, with predominantly triceps, biceps, and peroneal muscles weakness; or a distal pattern, with distal weakness in the [doi.org]

Following natural history data collection, the next challenge is to develop more effective, disease specific treatments. Current management is focussed on symptomatic and supportive treatments. [content.iospress.com]
