Dysferlinopathies are rare autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies caused by mutation in the dysferlin (DYSF) gene, resulting in varied phenotype. In this case report, we review a 26-year-old diabetic male patient who presented to hospital suffering from progressive muscle weakness. We confirmed the diagnosis of dysferlinopathy with phenotype of limb girdle muscular dystrophy, followed by a muscle biopsy, immunohistochemistry and a molecular technique, exome sequencing. The specific homozygous mutations in DYSF and heterozygous mutation PSAP genes identified in the present case of LGMD-2B are found in the Saudi population.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D049288 Muscular Dystrophies, Limb-Girdle A heterogenous group of inherited muscular dystrophy that can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. There are many forms (called LGMDs) involving genes encoding muscle membrane proteins such as the sarcoglycan (SARCOGLYCANS) complex that interacts with DYSTROPHIN. The disease is characterized by progressing wasting and weakness of the proximal muscles of arms and legs around the HIPS and SHOULDERS (the pelvic and shoulder girdles).
