Study Record
Phase 3 corticosteroid study record evaluating deflazacort in adults with FKRP-related LGMD2I, ultimately terminated early.
Glossary
A cell-surface protein that needs proper glycosylation to help muscle and other tissues stay structurally stable.
Study Record
Phase 1 FKRP gene-transfer trial record for ATA-100, designed to assess safety, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity with long-term follow-up.
Study Record
Phase 3 randomized ribitol trial in FKRP-related LGMD2I/LGMDR9 and the most advanced current interventional program identified in this FKRP research sweep.
Paper Summary
Cardiac-focused FKRP paper showing that cardiovascular magnetic resonance can detect subclinical or mild cardiac disease beyond what routine testing alone may capture.
Guide
FKRP-related disease can involve skeletal muscle, motor development, cardiac function, respiratory function, and in some severe congenital presentations, broader neurologic or structural findings. The pattern is variable, which is why the site treats phenotype as a spectrum.
Glossary
A group of disorders caused by problems in alpha-dystroglycan glycosylation, including diseases linked to FKRP.
Paper Summary
Large modern natural-history cohort describing prevalence, genotype distribution, ventilatory support patterns, wheelchair use, and sex-associated differences in Norwegian LGMDR9.
Paper Summary
Pediatric case-based paper describing severe congenital FKRP disease with eye and brain involvement and comparing that presentation with previously reported FKRP cases.
Guide
This page is a clinician-facing orientation route through the FKRP site. It is designed to support rapid review by focusing on the disease spectrum, monitoring domains, and source-linked follow-up pages rather than broad generic neuromuscular background.
Guide
This page is the family-friendly entry point into the FKRP site. It is designed to help non-specialists understand the main ideas quickly, know which questions are worth bringing to clinic, and move from confusion toward a structured understanding of the condition.
Guide
This page focuses on how physiotherapists and rehabilitation teams can orient themselves within FKRP-related disease without losing sight of the broader neuromuscular, cardiac, and respiratory context.
Guide
This page is the research-oriented route into the FKRP site. It is designed to support literature capture, terminology alignment, and use of the paper and study libraries without assuming the user wants to start inside a database index.
Paper Summary
Review article mapping FKRP biology, disease mechanisms, model systems, and the treatment approaches that were emerging by 2021.
Guide
FKRP-related disease is usually discussed as an autosomal recessive condition, but interpretation still depends on variant classification, clinical context, and how individual findings fit the wider phenotype.
Glossary
The relationship between a genetic variant pattern and the clinical features seen in a person or group.
Study Record
International FKRP patient-registry record designed to characterize the population, support standards of care work, and help identify participants for future studies.
Glossary
An older diagnostic label commonly used in the literature for FKRP-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
Paper Summary
Genotype-phenotype paper showing that FKRP-related LGMD can be present and clinically varied in North American cohorts, not only in founder populations from Northern Europe.
Glossary
The current limb-girdle muscular dystrophy naming convention most often used for later-onset FKRP-related disease.
Guide
FKRP-related disease is usually managed through a multidisciplinary model. Monitoring is not only about neurology. Cardiology, pulmonology, sleep evaluation, rehabilitation, genetics, and practical family coordination all matter to safe long-term care.
Glossary
Breathing support used during sleep when overnight ventilation is not strong enough without assistance.
Study Record
Published observational cohort describing prevalence, genotype distribution, ventilatory support, and cardiomyopathy patterns in a large Norwegian FKRP population.
Study Record
Phase 2 open-label ribitol study in FKRP-related LGMD2I/LGMDR9 that provides the main early clinical development context for the BBP-418 program.
Paper Summary
Foundational phenotype paper demonstrating that cardiopulmonary complications can be prominent in FKRP-related LGMD even when skeletal muscle weakness appears comparatively limited.
Guide
FKRP is a gene involved in alpha-dystroglycan glycosylation. Pathogenic variants in FKRP can cause a spectrum of muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathies, ranging from severe congenital presentations to later-onset limb-girdle disease.
