Descrição: Hypoglycosylation of α‐dystroglycan underpins a subgroup of muscular dystrophies ranging from congenital onset of weakness, severe brain malformations and death in the perinatal period to mild weakness in adulthood without brain involvement. Mutations in six genes have been identified in a proportion of patients. POMT1, POMT2 and POMGnT1 encode for glycosyltransferases involved in the mannosylation of α‐dystroglycan but the function of fukutin, FKRP and LARGE is less clear. The pathological hallmark is reduced immunolabeling of skeletal muscle with antibodies recognizing glycosylated epitopes on α‐dystroglycan. If the common pathway of these conditions is the hypoglycosyation of α‐dystroglycan, one would expect a correlation between clinical severity and the extent of hypoglycosylation. By studying 24 patients with mutations in these genes, we found a good correlation between reduced α‐dystroglycan staining and clinical course in patients with mutations in POMT1, POMT2 and POMGnT1. However, this was not always the case in patients with defects in fukutin and FKRP, as we identified patients with mild limb–girdle phenotypes without brain involvement with profound depletion of α‐dystroglycan. These data indicate that it is not always possible to correlate clinical course and α‐dystroglycan labeling and suggest that there might be differences in α‐dystroglycan processing in these disorders.
