※ introduction Limb¨Cgirdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically heterogeneous group of rare muscular dystrophies that share a set of clinical characteristics. It is characterised by progressive muscle wasting which affects predominantly hip and shoulder muscles. LGMD usually has an autosomal pattern of inheritance. It currently has no known cure or treatment.
LGMD may be triggered or worsened in genetically susceptible individuals by statins, because of their effects on HMG-CoA reductase
