Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R1 (LGMDR1, formerly LGMD2A) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in CAPN3 and is characterized by progressive proximal limb muscle weakness. The CAPN3 gene product, calpain-3/CAPN3/p94, is a member of the intracellular cysteine protease superfamily predominantly expressed in the skeletal muscle. LGMDR1 pathogenesis has been investigated separately using mouse models: CAPN3:C129S [knock-in (KI)] mice, which express a proteolytically inactive variant, and ...[more]
