were selected because of the frequency and epidemiology of the region. Results: 18 patients were included, all with phenotype of LMGD. 2 patients had positive dry drop with genetic confirmation for Pompe disease. 2 patients had the gene mutation for dysferlin (LGM2B). 1 patient presented mutation to HNRPDL (LGMD1G). 1 patient presented to SGCA mutation of unknown significance. 12 patients had negative dry drop and were negative for mutations explored. Conclusion: This study allowed the first two cases diagnose as a treatable genetic myopathy as Pompe disease. The genetic panel for dystrophies above was used by a Uruguayan laboratory for the first time in the country.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
