Compound heterozygous c.598_612del and c.1746-20C > G CAPN3 genotype cause autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-1: a case report
Abstract Background Autosomal recessive limb–girdle muscular dystrophy-1 (LGMDR1), also known as calpainopathy, is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterised by progression of muscle weakness. Homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in the CAPN3 gene are known genetic causes of this con...

The aim of this study was to confirm the molecular consequences of the CAPN3 variant NG_008660.1(NM_000070.3):c.1746-20C > G of an individual with suspected LGMDR1 by extensive complementary DNA (cDNA) analysis.

However, the lack of exon 15 in the CAPN3 isoforms present in a blood sample was explained by cell-specific alternative splicing rather than an aberrant splicing mechanism.
