Identification of a shared, common haplotype segregating with an SGCB c.544 T > G mutation in Indian patients affected with sarcoglycanopathy.

ABSTRACT: Sarcoglycanopathy is the most frequent form of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies caused by mutations in SGCB gene encoding beta-sarcoglycan proteins. In this study, we describe a shared, common haplotype co-segregating in 14 sarcoglycanopathy cases from 13 unrelated families from south Indian region with the likely pathogenic homozygous mutation c.544 T > G (p.Thr182Pro) in SGCB. Haplotype was reconstructed based on 10 polymorphic markers surrounding the c.544 T > G mutation in the cases and related family members as well as 150 unrelated controls from Indian populations using PLINK1.9. We identified haplotype H1 = G, A, G, T, G, G, A, C, T, G, T at a significantly higher frequency in cases compared to related controls and unrelated control Indian population. Upon segreg
