Top Published Expert Doctors for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies
420 top medical experts on Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies across 44 countries and 31 U.S. states, including 268 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies: A heterogenous group of inherited muscular dystrophy that can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. There are many forms (called lgmds) involving genes encoding muscle membrane proteins such as the sarcoglycan (sarcoglycans) complex that interacts with dystrophin. The disease is characterized by progressing wasting and weakness of the proximal muscles of arms and legs around the hips and shoulders (the pelvic and shoulder girdles).
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Muscular Dystrophies (1,543) and Narrower Categories: Sarcoglycanopathies (382).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 42 including 6 Active, 18 Completed, 10 Recruiting
