Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a very serious, debilitating form of muscular dystrophy that primarily affects the muscle groups of the hips, arms, and legs. Many subtypes also affect cardiac and breathing muscles which may lead to premature death. Though forms vary, most individuals will use a wheelchair or mobility scooter eventually due to loss of ambulation. There are still no treatments commercially available for patients living with LGMD.
