Objectives: the aim of this protocol is to identify biomarker and clinical correlates of changes in the barrier function of skeletal muscle membrane (i.e. cell membrane permeability) before and after routine motor function testing in patients with one of the Fragile Sarcolemmal Muscular Dystrophies (FSMD). Study population: patients with early adulthood or later onset of a FSMD (LGMD2B-F, I, L, MM, BMD, and MMD3). Study Phase: pilot study. Outcome measures: increased change in baseline levels of proteins that are released into the blood from damaged skeletal muscle, such as Creatine Kinase (CK), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), troponins, and myoglobin in plasma, changes in inflammation markers, circulating microRNAs and imaging studies to identify effective biomarkers for use in future clinical trials.
