Limb girdle muscular dystrophy is a genetically inherited condition that primarily affects skeletal muscle leading to progressive, predominantly proximal muscle weakness at presentation. Autosomal dominant LGMD represent 10% of all LGMDs. HNRNPDL-related muscular dystrophy, LGMD1G/LGMD D3 (MIM#609115), is an extremely rare autosomal dominant adult onset myopathy described in a handful of families. Here we fully characterized the muscular and respiratory involvement of a 58 years old Italian woman presenting the previously reported pathogenic variant c.1132G > C p.(Asp378Asn) in the HNRNPDL gene.
