ABSTRACT
Autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) type 2A are a group of disorders characterised by progressive involvement of proximal limb girdle muscles and caused by changes in the CAPN3 gene. Involvement of tissues other than the skeletal muscle has not been reported so far. Here we describe the unusual association of LGMD2A and idiopathic generalised epilepsy in a 14-year-old girl.
