The authors mapped an autosomal recessive form of limb-girdle MD on chromosome 19q13.3 (LGMD2I), further narrowed down the candidate region to 1.1 Mb, and identified one new homozygous mutation in the fukutin-related protein (FKRP) gene on patients of the original Tunisian family. Immunohistochemical and immunoblot analysis showed abnormal expression of α-dystroglycan and laminin-α2 supporting the hypothesis that FKRP has a role in the interaction between the extracellular matrix components.
