Recessive mutations in anoctamin-5 (ANO5) are causative for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) 2 L and non-dysferlin Miyoshi-like distal myopathy (MMD3).
A total of 244 patients was identified; 68 LGMDR1/LGMD2A patients with CAPN3 mutations (28%), 67 sarcoglycanopathy patients (LGMDR3-5/LGMD2C-E) (27%), 64 LGMDR12/LGMD2L and MMD3 patients with ANO5 mutations (26%), 25 LGMDR2/LGMD2B and MMD1 with DYSF mutations (10%), 21 LGMDR9/LGMD2I with FKRP mutations (9%) and one LGMDR8/LGMD2H patient with TRIM32 mutations (<1%).
We have identified recessive mutations in ANO5 that result in a proximal limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2L) in three French Canadian families and in a distal non-dysferlin Miyoshi myopathy (MMD3) in Dutch and Finnish families.
