Abstract
Background The impact of age at autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMDR) onset on progression to loss of ambulation (LOA) has not been well established, particularly by subtype. Objectives: To describe the characteristics of patients with adult-, late childhood-, and early childhood-onset LGMDR by subtype and characterize the frequency and timing of LOA. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane library. Frequency and timing of LOA in patients with LGMDR1, LGMDR2/Miyoshi myopathy (MM), LGMDR3-6, LGMDR9, and LGMDR12 were synthesized from published data. Results: In 195 studies, 695 (43.4%) patients had adult-, 532 (33.2%) had late childhood-, and 376 (23.5%) had early childhood-onset of disease across subtypes among those with a reported age at onset (n = 1,603); distribution of age at onset varied between subtypes. Among patients with LOA (n = 228), adult-onset disease was uncommon in LGMDR3-6 (14%) and frequent in LGMDR2/MM (42%); LGMDR3-6 cases with LOA primarily had early childhood-onset (74%). Mean (standard deviation [SD]) time to LOA varied between subtypes and was shortest for patients with early childhood-onset LGMDR9 (12.0 [4.9] years, n = 19) and LGMDR3-6 (12.3 [10.7], n = 56) and longest for those with late childhood-onset LGMDR2/MM (21.4 [11.5], n = 36). Conclusions: This review illustrated that patients with early childhood-onset disease tend to have faster progression to LOA than those with late childhood- or adult-onset disease, particularly in LGMDR9. These findings provide a greater understanding of progression to LOA by LGMDR subtype, which may help inform clinical trial design and provide a basis for natural history studies.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the epidemiology of the clinical and genetic features of childhood-onset limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) in the Aegean part of Turkey. In total fifty-six pediatric cases with LGMD followed in four different pediatric neurology departments in the Aegean region of Turkey were evaluated. Among them, LGMD2C was the most common followed by LGMD2A, LGMD2D, and LGMD2F with equal frequencies. In twenty-eight patients (50%) the diagnosis could be confirmed by genetic analysis, where SGCG proved to be disease-causing in most of the cases. About half of the patients were diagnosed with whole exome or targeted gene sequencing. A positive correlation between muscle biopsy and genetic findings were observed in 11% of the patients. We report one novel frameshifting mutation in TTN. Knowledge on frequencies of childhood-onset limb-girdle muscular dystrophies and related genes in Turkey will lead to a prompt diagnosis of these neuromuscular disorders.
