Descriptor	distrofias musculares de cinturas
Entry term(s)	distrofia de cinturas distrofias musculares de las cinturas distrofias musculares de las cinturas esqueléticas
Scope note:	Grupo heterogéneo de distrofia muscular hereditaria que puede ser autosómica dominante o autosómica recesiva. Hay muchas formas (denominadas LGMD) en las que están implicados genes que codifican las proteínas de la membrana muscular, como el complejo de SARCOGLICANOS que interactúa con la DISTROFINA. La enfermedad se caracteriza por consunción y debilidad progresiva de los músculos proximales de los brazos y de las piernas, alrededor de las CADERAS y de los HOMBROS (cinturas pélvica y escapular).Grupo heterogéneo de distrofias musculares hereditarias que pueden ser autosómicas dominantes o autosómicas recesivas.

Scope note:

A heterogenous group of inherited muscular dystrophy that can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. There are many forms (called LGMDs) involving genes encoding muscle membrane proteins such as the sarcoglycan (SARCOGLYCANS) complex that interacts with DYSTROPHIN. The disease is characterized by progressing wasting and weakness of the proximal muscles of arms and legs around the HIPS and SHOULDERS (the pelvic and shoulder girdles).
