In patients with sarcoglycan (SG) deficiency, a primary defect in any one of the four SG proteins usually leads to reduced expression of the whole SG complex. We report a limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D family (LGMD2D), with variable phenotype, where a mutation in the α-SG gene resulted in the partial deficiency of α-SG alone. The normal expression of the other three SG proteins suggests that mutations close to the α-SG transmembrane domain might be less critical for complex integrity, and that weakness may occur despite its retention.
