The various molecules involved in muscle function and implicated in LGMD LGMD is a genetic and heritable disorder, due to one of many genetic mutations of proteins involved in muscle function. All currently identified LGMDs have an inheritance pattern that is dominant or recessive, although the definition of LGMD allows for diseases with more complicated inheritance patterns to be classified as LGMD. Examples of proteins affected in LGMD are α, β, γ and δ sarcoglycans.
