Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle, Autosomal Recessive 2 (LGMDR2)

Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle, Autosomal Recessive 2, also known as beta-sarcoglycanopathy, is related to myopathy, autosomal recessive, with rigid spine and distal joint contractures and muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal recessive 18, and has symptoms including ataxia, athetosis and muscle cramp. An important gene associated with Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle, Autosomal Recessive 2 is DYSF (Dysferlin), and among its related pathways/superpathways are DREAM Repression and Dynorphin Expression and Acute viral myocarditis. The drugs Deflazacort and Immunosuppressive Agents have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skeletal muscle and monocytes, and related phenotypes are skeletal muscle atrophy and elevated circulating creatine kinase concentration
