Résumé
Two siblings originating from Reunion Island were affected by a limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 2A and carried the same two mutations in the calpain gene: 946-1 AG-->AA, affecting a splice site, and S744G. They demonstrated the clinical variability possible with calpain-3 mutations. Onset was around 20 years of age in each of them. The girl's symptoms mimicked a metabolic myopathy, while her brother, at the same age, presented a classical phenotype of LGMD in an advanced functional stage.
