Abstract

Mutations in protein O-mannosyltransferases (POMTs) cause a heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies with abnormal glycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan (dystroglycanopathies). The wide spectrum of clinical severities ranges from Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), associated with brain and eye abnormalities, to mild forms of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD).
