title: A homozygous nonsense mutation in delta-sarcoglycan exon 3 in a case of LGMD2F.
abstract: We present the first Turkish family with delta-sarcoglycanopathy (LGMD2F). A novel truncating mutation (E93X) in exon 3 was identified in the gene. The index case showed a severe course and there was no cardiac involvement. LGMD2F seems to be rare in our population.
