| Abstract | Background Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of hereditary myopathies. This group of diseases is highly heterogeneous in terms of genetic mode, age at onset, and disease progression; therefore, they are easily misdiagnosed and missed in clinical practice. Case presentation We describe a case of adult late-onset LGMD R1/2A in a 56-year-old female patient. The patient experienced elevated creatine kinase levels lasting 5 years, muscle soreness of the limbs lasting 4 years, and exacerbation of limb fatigue lasting 1 month. Early in the course of the disease, the patient experienced severe bradycardia and was later diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome. In addition to cardiac involvement, our patient also had primary hyperparathyroidism during the disease course, which was confirmed pathologically as a parathyroid adenoma. A biopsy of the left biceps showed pathological manifestations of mild myogenic damage. All-exon gene sequencing confirmed the diagnosis of LGMD R1/2A, and she was treated with vitamin E, vitamin B2, and coenzyme Q. Due to atrial fibrillation secondary to sick sinus syndrome, a pacemaker was implanted. Conclusion The patient in this case study had adult late-onset LGMD R1/2A with cardiac involvement and functional parathyroid adenoma, which is rare and clinically significant. Therefore, early clinical identification, diagnosis, as well as targeted and active treatments can improve the prognosis of such patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
