ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate TCAP gene mutation and clinical features of a Chinese patient with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2G(LGMD 2G).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of the patient was analyzed. Exons of the TCAP gene were amplified and sequenced.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patient has presented clinically as LGMD and pathologically as vacuolar myopathy. Genetic analysis has identified compound heterozygous mutations of exons 1 and 2 of the TCAP gene(c.100delC, c.166insG).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>LGMD is a group of neuromuscular disorders with substantial phenotypic heterogeneity. Genetic diagnosis has become indispensable for accurate diagnosis for patients suspected to have the disease.</p>
